Translation by Clara A. Walsh (flourished c1910)
Fallen maple leaves
Language: English after the Japanese (日本語)
The scattered maple-leaves are blown From wooded hill and mountain-side, And in a rich confusion thrown, Mass in the valley far and wide. Hushed is the little streamlet's tone By the red splendour on its tide.
Confirmed with Clara A. Walsh, The Master-Singers of Japan, Murray, 1914, p.60
