White blossoms of the pear by Yosa Buson

White blossoms of the pear
by Yosa Buson
translated by Robert Hass




White blossoms of the pear
and a woman in moonlight
   reading a letter.







With a few words this poem lingers in the imagination. A link to learn more I have provided here.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosa_Buson
