Fields of Autumn

We present this work in honor of the Japanese holiday, Labor Thanksgiving Day.

Akazome Emon
Japanese
c. 960 – 1041

 

Fields of autumn,
When I see the flowers,
My heart, it feels like
It’s completely content, or maybe
It yearns to leave me forever.

Translation by Philippe Morel
