Below are eleven Buson haiku beginning with the phrase `The short night—` The short night— on the hairy caterpillar beads of dew. The short night— patrolmen washing in the river. The short night— bubbles of crab froth among the river reeds. The short night— a broom thrown away on the beach. The short night— the Oi River has sunk two feet. The short night— on the outskirts of the village a small shop opening. The short night— broken, in the shallows, a crescent moon. The short night— the peony has opened. The short night— waves beating in, an abandoned fire. The short night— near the pillow a screen turning silver. The short night— shallow footprints on the beach at Yui.
