満開のおかめ桜にメジロ…我が世の春を舞う♪

White-Eyes by Mary Oliver

In winter     all the singing is in       the tops of the trees         where the wind-bird with its white eyes     shoves and pushes       among the branches.         Like any of us he wants to go to sleep,     but he's restless—       he has an idea,         and slowly it unfolds from under his beating wings     as long as he stays awake.       But his big, round music, after all,         is too breathy to last. So, it's over.     In the pine-crown       he makes his nest,         he's done all he can. I don't know the name of this bird,     I only imagine his glittering beak       tucked in a white wing         while the clouds— which he has summoned     from the north—       which he has taught         to be mild, and silent— thicken, and begin to fall     into the world below       like stars, or the feathers         of some unimaginable bird that loves us,     that is asleep now, and silent—       that has turned itself         into snow.
