How I wish to call
A white crane from Fukei,
But for this cold rain.
I am happy when it rains
That is when I feel at home
Kikaku & Cie
Notes:
The Hokku stanza was written by Kikaku, an apprentice and close friend of Basho. He created this work as a gift when Basho was ailing.
The Akegu stanza was created by me.
