In a Park


No clouds in the sky
A flood of sunbeams

Somei-yoshino is telling the end of her womanhood
Double cherry blossoms are fully prepared to bloom all together

Mountain maples are
Gushing out fresh green

Dogwoods are on their wings
Softly arising the leaves' first cries of newborn

Getting through the severe cold
In the prehistoric yellowish green
Dozens of slender metasequoias aiming high appear dim

Amongst them
A Himalayan cedar of the same age!
When will you stand haughtily?

A liquidamber burning in crimson
Shines on the water

Is it in several days when I can hear
The grand chorus of various azaleas?

The keyaki still naked is preparing
The perfection of the magnificent spring orchestra
