Breeze on verdure…
Cinefil san is right. This is Haiku.
It's maybe something like this...
わかばかぜ Breeze blowing on the verdure
しきあんにきく While staying at the resting place of Shiki Masaoka
うえののかね。 I hear the bell from Ueno station.
Shiki Masaoka is a Japanese famous poet, linguist in Meiji era.
わかばかぜ is a season word, indicating it's the late spring ~ beginning of summer time.

Ueno may or maynot be the Ueno station, but often times "Ueno" appears on poems as crowds passing by near the busy Ueno station.
I don't know if the station had a bell telling the time, but I suppose in old times stations had clocks or bells.
I didn't search about しきあん but supposed it is a resting place which is related to the famous poet.
The author may be imagining what the famous poet would have been thinking in this place

The Shiki-style temple Wakaba
That seems to be a title of a visual movie or game.
Shiki is the name of a video game character, but also of a location.
Wakaba is a Japanese word and name meaning "young leaf".
