Petits Poëmes Japonais

Tombe doucement,
O toi, pluie du printemps !
Et n’éparpille pas 
Les fleurs des cerisiers 
Avant que je les aie vues.

Quand je suis sorti sur la lande,
où la brume s’élevait
le rossignol chanta 
Le printemps, 
semble-t-il est venue.

Sur les fleurs du prunier
épaisse tombe la beige.
J’ai voulu la ramasser pour te la montrer
mais elle a fondu dans mes mains
