春が来たいちはやく虫がやつて来たspring has come — quick, an insect has arrived

春が来たと思ったら、もう虫がやって来た。誰よりも早い春の客である。小さな虫の目ざとさをよろこぶ、明るくて簡単な句。庵の春はこうして始まる。No sooner had he thought spring had come than an insect had already arrived. The earliest guest of spring, before anyone else. A bright, simple poem delighting in the sharp eye of a tiny bug. Thus does spring begin at the hut.
