With the drifting scent of plum
evening comes early
to the foothills

Yosa Buson
与謝 蕪村

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

Chiyo-ni
福田 千代尼

Haze over all
and a mountain path rife
with bellsounds

Shinkei
心敬

On white magnolias
gold of the setting sun
is dripping

Usuda Aro
臼田亜浪

Sunlight
passes through a butterfly
asleep

Takakuwa Rankō
高桑闌更

All day the orioles call
and cranes brush
tall white clouds

Du Fu
杜甫

In the daytime
where do the fireflies hide?
Pond water

Matsunaga Teitoku
松永 貞徳

Winding paths
lead off to
secret places

Chang Jian
常建

Deep within the dale
wrapped in veils of evening mist
sings the nightingale

Mizuhara Shuoshi
水原 秋櫻子
