軟草平莎過雨新,
輕沙走馬路無塵。
III The leaves of jute and hemp are thick and lush in this land;
何時收拾耦耕身?
日暖桑麻光似潑,
The scent of boiling cocoons in the village spreads. Across the fence young maidens prate while reeling threads.
風來蒿艾氣如薰。
使君元是此中人。
An old man raises dim-sighted eyes, cane in hand; He picks new wheat so that his hunger he may ease.
