Come spring as of old.
When such revenues of rice.
Braced this castle town!

An example of a shasei haiku by Jane Reichhold:

In Basho's time shasei wasn't a known word, but this haiku shows what shasei means. Just the real scene caught in a haiku. An example of a shasei haiku by Basho:
ame no hi ya seken no aki o sakai-cho
a rainy day
the autumn world
of a border town
