たまたまたづね来てその泰山木が咲いてゐてi happened to call and that magnolia was in bloom

妹の家をたずねての句。たまたま来てみれば、庭の泰山木がちょうど大きな白い花を開いていた。めったに会わない兄妹の再会に、花が居合わせてくれたような、しずかなよろこびがある。Written on a visit to his younger sister's house. He had come by chance, and found the magnolia in her garden just then opening its great white flowers. In the reunion of a brother and sister who rarely meet, the flower seems to have kept them company — a quiet joy.
