村南村北響繅車。
The leaves of jute and hemp are thick and lush in this land;
牛衣古柳賣黃瓜。
The scent of boiling cocoons in the village spreads.
酒困路長惟欲睡，
Across the fence young maidens prate while reeling threads.
日高人渴漫思茶。
An old man raises dim-sighted eyes, cane in hand;
敲門試問野人家。
He picks new wheat so that his hunger he may ease.
