(Original)
One magnolia
Landed upon another
In the dew-wet grass.
(Japanese version)
木蓮が木蓮に
散る
露の草
(Hohsai）
木蓮一日うなづいて居て暮れた
(English version)
Magnolias-
I have nodded all day long
And the sun has gone down.
■Magnolia is a spring word. Wright's haiku has a vivid image as a poem. Did Hohsai talk to somebody or nodded to nature around him? His haiku is humorous.
