перевести стихотворение (чтобы хотя бы рифмовалось, можно не очень близко к тексту):
Величество
Солнце с его художественным прикосновением,
Полоски голубого цвета с розовым румянцем.
Дуб Тримминд и Клен тоже,
Малиновый красный цвет в желтом цвете.
Береза и Хемлок, фиолетовый и золотой,
Яблоки, тыквы яркие и смелые,
Ожоги днем и остывает ночью,
Клыкающие деревья в огненной силе.
Тонкие ветры и неусыпные листья,
Кипарисские ароматы на ветру,
Звездные эвы и луны,
Устанавливает сцену для мелодии cricets.
Когда пауки вращаются
И сверчки поют в симфонии,
Их последняя песня судьбы,
По всему миру ясно видеть,
Весеннее величие Осени!
