奥山に(Okuyama ni)
紅葉ふみわけ(Momiji fumiwake)
鳴く鹿の(Kiku shika no)
声聞く時ぞ(Koe kiku tokizo)
秋は悲しき(Aki ha kanashiki)
How forlorn the autumn.
Rustling through the leaves,
going deep into the mountains,
I hear the lonely deer
belling for his doe.

Autumn deer calls Poem no. 5.
https://100poets.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/a-deers-cry-in-autumn-poem-number-5/
When I hear the voice
of the stag crying for his mate
stepping through the fallen leaves
deep in the mountains - this is the time
that autumn is the saddest.
Translated by Dr. Joshua Mostow
The poem was composed by one mysterious figure named Sarumaru, whom we know nothing about. Even in the kokinshū where this poem is first found, it is listed as anonymous, according to Professor Mostow, but seems to have been composed for a poetry contest in 893 hosted by Prince Koresada. Whoever Sarumaru was, though, it earned him a place among the Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry.
Mostow explains that this poem is surprisingly tricky to interpret: who is walking through the leaves, the deer or the author?
Speaking of deer, deer have been an integral part of Japanese poetry since early times. This and poem 83 show how the deer's cry is a famous poetic symbol of sadness or melancholy.
