Shiki, (1869 - 1902)

One fell,-
two fell,-
camellias.

   
 

Spring rain;
holding an umbrella, and looking
at the picture books in the shop.

 
    On the sandy beach,
footprints:
long is the spring day.
  A hundred labourers
digging earth:
the long day.
 
One canary escaped:
the spring day
is at its end.
   
 

A willow;
and two or three cows
waiting for the boat.
