Fireflies flying
in gaps between branches
a grove of stars

White peony
just a hint of rouge
revealing this floating world

The dew frozen
soaked dry with a brush
the pure water spring

The round sun
and the slender moon
with a paper kite

The water glistens,
a subtle tremble
of evening wind

Ozaki Hōsai

The arbor watered
wisteria flowers are dripping
for a short while

The harvest moon
there too is a bird
that seeks through the night

Walking on through mountain clouds
an empty trail
through ancient trees

Tilling the field
the unmoving cloud
has disappeared

Yosa Buson
与謝 蕪村
