The Hirose River runs all white, <br />As time wiles away, so too disappear all fanciful thoughts. <br />Hoping to bait life on hook and line, <br />I dangled my fishing rod in the river yesterday. <br />O such merriment has long receded, <br />Now minnowy fish scarce catch the eye.<br /><br />Sakutaro Hagiwara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hirose-river/
