On a withered branch
A crow has alighted:
Nightfall in autumn.
--Matsuo Basho, 1679
The 1st haiku poem.
I hope to find a few more translations.

The Egret - by me
----------------------------
The egret was here,
stalking the bank,
quite white.
It didn't come back for me the next day, or on the following days.
I have no re-egrets.

I was here ─ and He is still ─
Will be beyond that yonder Hill.
I was there, where He was never ─
Gone from thought and o'er the River.
