This little piece, entitled Ochiba ('Falling Leaves'), is from Nakanoshima's manual, Yamada Koto for Beginners, published in 1956.

Poem (translated by Tsuge Gen'ichi)

Evening,
When the temple bell tolls,
The falling leaves flutter
Redly.

Evening,
When the little bird sings,
The falling leaves rustle
Dryly.
