Translations of the original Haiku by Tormod Kinnes:

 

None is traveling

Here along this way but I,

This autumn evening.

            - Basho

 

Pebbles shining clear,

and clear

six silent fishes . . .

Deep autumn water

            - Buson

 

In the farther field

    a scarecrow kept me

    company . . .

Walking as I walked

            - Sanin

 

But when I halted

    on the windy street

    at twilight . . .

Snow struck against me

            -Kito
