by Yakamochi Otomo (718 - 785)
Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)

Wenn sich der Abend niedersenkt und...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Japanese (日本語) 
Wenn sich der Abend niedersenkt und Nebel
Eintönig wallen übers graue Meer,
Und wenn die Kraniche mit müder Stimme
Ins Dunkel rufen, traurig anzuhören, -- 
Dann denk ich meiner Heimat, schmerzdurchweht.
