朝顔や下水の泥もあさのさま
asagao ya gesui no doro mo asa no sama
David’s English
morning-glories
even in sewer mud
a morning scene
by Issa, 1805
Shinji Ogawa translated the final phrase,
asa no sama: "morning scene."
My original translation, though less literal, might be
a better haiku in English: morning-glories even
in sewer mud greet the dawn
