小林一茶 1792年
to^ bakari miete to^ji wa natsu kodachi
塔ばかり見へて東寺は夏木立
David's English
Toh Temple--
just its pagoda shows
over the summer trees
by Issa, 1792
The haiku refers to To^ji, a Buddhist temple in Kyoto. Shinji Ogawa comments, "[Issa] skillfully depicts the vigorous green foliage in summer without mentioning anything about the foliage itself."
