俳句 365 haiku (105) 《春の夜 Bashō》

 　

春の夜は桜に明けてしまひけり

(haru-no-yo-wa sakura-ni-akete shimaikeri)

 　　                        （芭蕉）

　　　

the spring night

has turned to dawn,

while viewing the cherry-blossoms

　　　　　　　　　　(Lovee)　　

　

(Note)

I assume that Bashō omitted real subuject (Bashō himself) in this haiku.

Accordingly, in this translation, the subject "I am" is omitted after the word "while" in the subordinate clause.
