Awakened at midnight by the sound of the water jar cracking from the ice
From the pine tree, learn of the pine tree; And from the bamboo, of the bamboo

The old pond, ah! A frog jumps in: The water's sound.
Collecting all The rains of May The swift Mogami River.
Spring rain leaking through the roof dripping from the wasps' nest.
