One Day in Early Spring


I did happen to see
A rare amazing keyaki tree
Putting forth the sprouts
I had been longing for

The standing form is
Absolutely arrogant and resolute
Growing innocently
To the adolescence of
One hundred years of age
Bearing yellow pimples on all the wings
How lovely, pure and delicate!
What a great joy of high nobility!

The burning flames
Make a round figure
In all directions
Swelling and swelling towards the sky high

The best time of the plain of Musashino
Is absolutely
When keyaki
Start to sprout
