春の訪れ (Haru no Otozure)

　 　 　 　 　
　 枯野原　照す陽射しに春みえて　何とはなしにのどけさの今日

Today is just
Somehow tranquil,
As spring appears
With the sun shining
On the dead winter fields.

　 浅けれど　春は見えけり小溝川　水のせせらぎかそかながらも 
6 　 Although still faint
I can feel
Spring—is that
Murmuring the water of the
Komizu River or .....? 		 February 13, 1936, #2, page 9, S5-8B
　 　 　 　 　
　

春来ぬる　畑に残んの雪あれど　冷たからなくうすらかぎらふ
7 　 Snow remains in
The fields to which
Spring has come;
The chill will
Become faint.		 February 13, 1936, #3, page 9, S5-8C 
   
　

如月の　末ともなれば春めきて　冬枯林真陽に明るき
8 　 The second month has
Come to an end and
Spring is here;
Bright is the sunlight
On the bare winter trees. 		 February 21, 1936, #4, page 9, S5-8D
   
　

田舎道　通りすがりに眼につくは　土のなだりに春にじむ色
9 　 Following the country path
What catches my eye,
Colors that indicate
Spring which appear
On the earthen slope.		 February 21, 1936, #5, page 9, S5-9A  
  
　

見はるかす　枯桃林うすらにも　かぎろひ見えぬ春近むるや
10 　 Seen far away, faintly,
The dead winter branches
Of the forest of peach trees,
Shimmer, unseen yet
Sensed, the approaching spring.		 February 21, 1936, #6, page 9, S5-9B  
 
　

春の日の　のどかな光に生々し　麦の穂立のととのひ見えて

Of a spring day
Appear
The glistening ears of
Wheat neatly arranged. 		 March 29, 1936, #7, page 9, S5-9C
 
　

日々通ふ　野辺の道芝青ずみて　畑の春もひろいごりにける

The daily path of travel
Full of greenery,
The fields of spring
Indeed spread out.		 March 29, 1936, #8, page 9, S5-9D
 
　

音立てて　春雨ならぬ雨音に　心みだるる日もすがらなる
13 　 Making a noise
Not like any spring rain,
The sound of the rain,
Disturbed is my heart
And so is the day.		 March 29, 1936, #9, page 9, S5-9E
 
　

五月雨と　思ふばかりに音たつる　春雨の日のうつとうしけれ
14 　 I thought it was
Just a spring rain,
But the sound made
In the day by the drizzle
Does get on my nerves.		 March 29, 1936, #10, page 10, S5-10A
 
　

ゆずり葉の　緑清々し朝晴れの　五月の空の下をくぎろひ
15 　 Vivid the green of the
Daphne magnolias
Punctuates all under
The sky of the bright, clear
Morning of the fifth month.		 April 24, 1936, #11, page 10, S5-10B
 
　

たんぽぽは　今盛りなりしかすがに　春は庭辺に深まりにつつ

Now out in full bloom,
All but faintly is
Spring gradually
Deepening within the garden.		 April 24, 1936, #12, page 12, S5-10C
