TWO HAIKU ABOUT SUMIRE BY ISSA
Sumire saku / kado ya yoru sae / natsukashiki
Violet bloom gate ! night yearning longing sae = clear at least serene ? natsukashiki yearn long for as adjective
Violets blooming serenely by the gate at night I yearn to see
Or possilbly its late twilight and hes pleased to reach his destination ?
Waga mae ni / dare dare sumi shi / sumire zo mo
I before this time place who who live indeed violets emphatic also still here
Before me who indeed lived here the violets still remain

Spring time and perhaps Chiyo was walking thru the countryside and past a field of young horses who had come racing through long grasses mixed with flowers and and now are standing near a fence legs covered with scent due to trampling through a patch of violets?
