The Infant Footprint, 41st day of Childwinter, 525 M.E. (Electra):

ashes, my burnt hut
but wonderful the cherry
blooming on my hill

by Hokushi (Tachibana Genjiro, 1665-1718), as translated by R.H. Blyth. On his death bed, Hokushi wrote:

I write, erase, rewrite,
erase again and then
a poppy blooms   

(translation by Yoel Hoffmann)
