秋の田の 穂田の刈(ｶﾘ)ばか か寄り合はば そこもか人の 吾(ﾜ)を言(ｺﾄ)なさむ
草嬢(ｸｻﾉｵﾄﾒ)の歌一首
(現代語訳)
秋の田の稲刈りの場で寄り添ったら、それを他人は私たちのことを噂の種にするのです。
As I am getting closer to him, harvesting rice, in the autumn paddy field,
People are gossiping about us on such a trifle matter, indeed.
Kusano-Otome, or a country girl

作者の草嬢(ｸｻﾉｵﾄﾒ)は、伝未詳。略して書いた女の名、田舎の娘のことともいわれている。秋の稲刈りで寄り添ったところ噂になってしまう。それが二人の間にどういう影響を及ぼすのだろう？
The author, Kusanootome, is unknown. It is an abbreviated version of a woman’s name, and is also said to refer to a country girl. When the two get close during the autumn rice harvest, rumors start to spread. What effect will this have on their relationship?
