A Pine Tree in My Garden

As the autumnal gale, blowing,
Shakes the trunk,
Needles fall in the scouring-rush.

Mushroom Gathering

In color and in scent
Lovely are the gathered mushrooms.
Tenderly I put them in my basket
That they be not broken nor crushed.

Mount Fuji

On a pillow of blue clouds
Clad in silvery snow,
The guardian deity of Mount Fuji
Lies forever asleep.
