誰家煮蠶一村香？
The leaves of jute and hemp are thick and lush in this land;
隔簾嬌語絡絲娘。
The scent of boiling cocoons in the village spreads.
垂白杖藜抬醉眼，
Across the fence young maidens prate while reeling threads.
捋青搗麩軟飢腸。
An old man raises dim-sighted eyes, cane in hand;
問言豆葉幾時黃？
He picks new wheat so that his hunger he may ease.
