あれ小雪さあ元日ぞ元日ぞ
And in romaji:
are ko yuki saa ganjitsu zo ganjitsu zo
And English: "Hey! Light snow! Get a move on! New Year's here! New Year!"
This is another haiku by Issa: it's a New Year's Day haiku, a "first day" poem, gan-jitsu, 元日. David Lanoue remarks, "Issa playfully scolds the snow. New Year's Day, the most auspicious day of the year, should be clear."
小
こ
"small"
