The above haiku is based on Bashô's:

Autumn has come
I call on the wind to be
a pillow to my ear.


Translation: 白狐

[Matsuo Bashô #80.]
áki kí ni kèri / mimí wo(?) tazúnetè / mákura nò kazé.

"autumn come-to has /
ear (wo = accusativus > object, but "mimí" here functions as
an indirect object, so "wo" should be "ni" !!! = to/for)
calling-on /
that-is (= "no" indicates a clause here) pillow
wind/breeze (which is the actual object !!!)."

>> "autumn to come has / for my ear calling on / the wind that's a pillow."
