六 ヨセミテ国立公園
6 Yosemite National Park
スケールの大きさ滝も岩も木も
landscape, entirely gigantic:
location of large scaled
Falls,Stones and trees
下闇や栗鼠の野生に隣合ふ
in the shade of green leaves,
took a seat next to the wildness:
Squirrels in Yosemite
巨大なり蟻のごとくに岩登り
tiny little climbers are on
huge face of the rock like ants do
with delicate coads
名をヴェールひらひらひらと滝しぶき
as called a bridal veil,
a veil of the spray of the waterfall
flushes and flutters
セコイアの野焼き大滝隠しけり
the smoke ascends from
the burning woods of sequoia:
dim the whole waterfall
緑陰やカリフォルニア産幕の内
under the shade of trees,
rice balls, a broiled salmon:
a box lunch made in California
実り売る農家あり桃洗ひ噛む
a farm sells the harvest:
wash and gnaw
the peaches, one for each
風受けて回るしかなし風車たち
against and to the wind
fragile windmills can do nothing
but turning on round edges of hills
農村の遠景李胡桃畑
a farm area, a distant view;
vague,cloudy
plums and wallnut-trees orchard
バス楽しアプリコットはみずみずし
Merry chat
Juicy apricot
In the bus
