鄉村四月 – （南宋 ）翁卷

 

绿遍山野白满川，
子规声里雨如烟。
乡村四月闲人少，
才了蚕桑又插田。

 

April Villages by Weng Juan (Southern Dynasties)

 

The rills don clear veil, the hills wear emerald shield,

Calls of cuckoos resound in the skies mist concealed.

Lo, few idle April village hands — from silkworms  

To mulberry, from silk-spin to rice fields, they yield.
