胡事乃躇躇？
In the yard before my house, the trees
直为亲旧故，
Provide midsummer with refreshed cool breeze.
未忍言索居。
When in due time the south wind comes apace,
良辰入奇怀，
A gust of swirling wind blows loose my lace.
挈杖还西庐。
I keep alone and idle time away
时时见废墟。
By reading books and playing lutes all day.
茅茨已就治，
My kitchen garden yields sufficient stuff;
新畴复应畬。
My barn is storing more grain than enough.
谷风转凄薄，
There's no trouble to meet my daily need;
春醪解饥劬。
It is against my hope to be obsessed by greed.
弱女虽非男，
I pound the glutinous rice to brew sweet wine
