Summer moving on

Half-moon on the rise

Village dims light after light

Hearing the hour bell

High summer season

Raining, cold, windy weather

Keeping festivals

You look at the moon

And the moon looks back at you

Brothers in sadness

Lazy afternoon

Watching the snails run by

A drink now and then

Damp air from meadow

Some drops rolling over leaves

But crickets chirp

Late summer blossoms

The rain has scattered a few

Fragrance still charming

Hot summer

Even with the sun hiding

Young bird out of nest
