A Triad of Tanka III
Young children should grow
Straight upright, honest and strong
As giant bamboo.
We shall take them to Kyoto...
There to know contemplation.
-------------------------------------
Filtered beams pausing
Deep inside Sagano's groves
Of rustling bamboo...
Where at rest and undisturbed
In immortal sereneness.
-------------------------------------
Rikugien's Maples,
Lit up at night time - ablaze!
Incandescent fire
Whom, through which great splendour made...
Can scorch the very heavens.
