中夏贮清阴。
Provide midsummer with refreshed cool breeze.
凯风因时来，
When in due time the south wind comes apace,
回飙开我襟。
A gust of swirling wind blows loose my lace.
息交游闲业，
I keep alone and idle time away
卧起弄书琴。
By reading books and playing lutes all day.
旧谷犹储今。
My kitchen garden yields sufficient stuff;
春林作美酒，
My barn is storing more grain than enough.
酒熟吾自斟。
There's no trouble to meet my daily need;
弱子戏我侧，
It is against my hope to be obsessed by greed.
学语未成音。
I pound the glutinous rice to brew sweet wine
此事真复乐，
And drink by myself when the wine is fine.
聊用忘华簪。
Meanwhile, my kid is playing by my side,
怀古一何深。
Making indistinct utterances with pride.
