SPRING Haikus by Bashô, Japan
Like a nightingale
resounds the graceful sing-song
of the mountain stream
Do not doubt about
the anchorage of spring
the flood brings flowers
Climbing the mountain
dazzling beauty along the road
the mountain violets
A morning in spring
between the wisps of fog arises
a strange mountain
BASHÔ, Katsushika (1760-1849)
