a haiku sweet 俳菓 of blossoms and full moon
しばらくは花の上なる月夜かな
shibaraku wa hana no ue naru tsukiyo kana
for a moment
it hangs above the blossoms:
the night's moon
Tr. Barnhill
lingering a while
above the blossoms, the moon
in the night sky
Tr. Ueda
Comment by Masaoka Shiki :
"This hokku, though favored by amateur poets, has no profound appeal.
That is because the poet did not sketch an actual scene but relied on his imagination."
'Basho and His Interpreters' - Ueda
Für eine Weile
über den blüh'nden Bäumen
ach, die Mondnacht noch.
Ernest W. B. Hess-Lüttich, Jürgen E. Müller
Written in 1691 元禄4年春 Basho age 48.

I forget there are sins -
this cool moon

しばらくは闇のともしを花火哉
shibaraku wa yami no tomoshi o hanabi kana
for a moment
the darkness is lighted...
fireworks
鰒くふてしばらく扇づかひ哉
fugu kuute shibaraku oogi zukai kana
after pufferfish soup
soon fans
are flitting
傘の下にしばらくかのこ哉
karakasa no shita ni shibaraku kanoko kana
lingering
under the paper umbrella...
a fawn

Shibaraku (暫, しばらく)
is among the most popular pieces in the Kabuki repertoire, and one of the celebrated Kabuki Jūhachiban (Eighteen Great Plays). The flamboyantly dramatic costume and makeup (kumadori) used in this scene is famous and widely associated by the average Westerner with Kabuki in general. The English translation of the title is akin to
"Stop a Moment!"
