Analysis and comments on First snow by Matsuo Basho

Comment 1 of 1, added on June 7th, 2005 at 4:19 PM.

First snow, that cold, white, winding sheet, lies stretched o’er all the ground,
It shrouds the world, and all that’s in it, while winter doth abound.
Death mask adorned, winter’s partial span will grow to join together,
Both autumn’s death and springs rebirth, thus life rolls on as ever.


Billy from United Kingdom
