on a withered branch
a crow has settled
autumn evening

A solitary
crow on a bare branch—
autumn evening
from The Sound of Water, trans. Sam Hamill
On dead branches
crows remain
perched at autumn’s end

on a barren branch
a raven had perched —-
autumn dusk

On a leafless bough
A crow is sitting: — autumn,
Darkening now —
from The Classic Tradition of Haiku, trans. Harold Gould Henderson
on a bare branch
a crow settled down
autumn evening
from Basho: The Complete Haiku, trans. Jane Reichhold
A black crow
Has settled himself
On a leafless tree,
Fall of an autumn day.
from Matsuo Bashō: The Narrow Road to the Deep North, trans. Nobuyuki Yuasa
Tiny bird on thin branch.
