土佐水木(トサミズキ)   黄色き花の 咲き初めて 春来るらし 鄙(ひな)の路にも


令和四年三月九日


先日常の路を通りて朝駅に向かへば空は晴れて申し分なし

時の巡りて春来たれば花咲くは常に変はらぬ世の習ひ

長き厳しき冬も春来るを拒む能はず

路の端土佐水木の花咲き初めて鄙にも春の来たるらし


The other morning, "Tosa Mizuki" (Corylopsis spicata) was beginning to bloom on the side of the road to the station.

It is a natural rule that the seasons change and the flowers bloom when spring comes.

Even the long and harsh winter can never refuse the arrival of spring.

I guess that spring has come because of a few little flowers beginning to bloom on the roads in the countryside.
