披草共来往。
相见无奈言,
Bean shoots are few but rank grass grows at will. I rise at early dawn to weed and prune
但道桑麻长。
桑麻日已长,
Till, hoe on shoulder, I return with the moon. As the path is narrow, grass and bushes tall,
我土日已广。
常恐霜霰至,
The evening dew will soak my dress and all. It's nothing if my dress gets wet with dew,
零落同草莽。
As long as my desires indeed come true.
