The sun’s out a little longer,
So it’s safer to return home a little later.
The air’s a little warmer,
So the sleeves get a little shorter.
Starting to adorn the maple trees’ naked branches
Are the young leaves which have appeared in clusters
I find myself admiring
Cherry blossoms that have begun blooming.
Other flowers will soon follow,
People will then wallow,
In hayfever sorrow.
