A warbler after the rain.
春雨の露もまだひず梅がえにうは毛しをれて鶯ぞなく

uwage shiorete
uguisu zo naku | The spring shower’s
Dewfall’s not yet dried, but
Upon the plum branch,
Plumage drenched,
Sings out the warbler! |
Created with Soan.

Upon the ducks’ down
Falls frost; it
Vanishes and gloom
Takes all my time! |

By dew upon its upper fronds
So soaked?

Dive beneath the ice-film
Round the rocks;
I wonder, will their down this morning
Be clogged with crystal layers? |
