Some haikus for New Year's Eve and New Year

I would like to end the year with some haiku by Japanese poets, in which they give us their thoughts on this meaningful season

Cherry,
Kukuck, Say, Snow
and the year ends
Sujiyama Sanpû (1647 – 1732)

The year ends.
What -When feel hard-
Fish and birds?
Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)

How good is
my age
first day of the New Year
Ryota Oshima (1718-1787)

Ah! Like a child
his day
New Year …!
Kobayashi Now (1763-1827)

New Year's Day,
so long wait, and what ?:
one more day.
Horo (1761 – 1845)

Daybreak
of Neujahrs. How
far away is already Yesterday,
Ichiku (1708-1759)

Oh, how I long
after Zei of the Gods:
New Year's Day.
Arakida Moritake (1473 -1549)
