Hi, I would be very happy if someone could help me desipher the calligraphy in this painting. What I've concluded so far: It is a Haiku and 水仙 = Daffodil

Much appriciated

It is a traditional cursive text that reads:

水仙の
處を
得た(𛁠)り
庭の

It seems to be meant as this haiku by 正岡子規:

水仙処を得たり庭の隅
A narcissus finally finds its place — a corner of yard

but I have no idea why there is a particle different.

The final seals read 慧石 in seal script, which seems to be the writer's pen name, though I don't know if s/he is somebody famous.
