彼モ一時ト鳴ク
(Ameisensou kare mo ichiji to mimizu naku.)
Frogs croak in chorus
so loudly that all the earthworms
burst into song.
朝顔ヤ我に写生ノ心アリ
(Asa-gao ya ware ni syasei no kokoro ari.)
Oh Morning Glory,
how my heart pulses
as I catch your image!
朝顔ヤ絵ニカクウチニ萎レケリ
(Asa-gao ya e ni kaku uchi ni shiore keri.)
A morning glory,
withered,
before I finish painting it.
朝顔ノシボマヌ秋トナリニケリ
(Asa-gao no shibomanu aki to nari ni keri.)
Autumn is here,
when a morning glory
will not close.
草花ヲ画ク日課ヤ秋ニ入ル
(Kusa-bana o egaku nikka ya aki ni iru.)
Sketching flowers
is my daily task,
and autumn has come.
病床ノ我ニ露チル思ヒアリ
(Byou-syou no ware ni tsuyu chiru omoi ari.)
On my sickbed,
I feel like dew
falling on the earth.
