now a bride coming

1824
Issa
fuku kitaru kado ya noyama no warai-gao

David’s English
well-wishing at the gate--
the faces of hills and fields
laughing

sakuo prefaced.
Issa has lost his first wife before year.
He has hard time in daily life as well as being lonely.
On the fifth month a new bride has come.

sakuo Renku
haruyama koete yome no kuru kana

over spring mountain
now bride coming
