Though autumn has come,
not even the colors change
on Evergreen Hill,
and it's the winds that lend it
these bright leaves from someplace else.

Original by [Sakanoue no Korenori]. The attribution is from Korenori's collected poems. Evergreen Hill is, as in #251, Tokiwa west of Kyoto, which often appears in birthday poems for its name. I'm not sure but that "the colors don't even change" wouldn't be a better translation were it not for its informal register.aki kuredo
