Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916) was not only a distinguished novelist but also a gifted poet. His poetry reflects a profound understanding of the human condition, capturing the essence of fleeting moments and the depths of emotion.
With delicate and introspective verses, Sōseki’s poems transport readers into a world of contemplation and evoke a deep sense of connection to nature and the human experience.
‘Over the wintry’ by Natsume Sōseki is a short, evocative poem that captures the desolate beauty of a winter landscape. It’s written in the form of a haiku.
Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.
