《田家 其四》
宋代 华岳
鸡唱三声天欲明,安排饭碗与茶瓶。
良人犹怒催耕早,自扯蓬窗看晓星。
Chicken crow three sound sky almost bright Someone row rice bowl with tea bottle Common people still fear hurry plough early Self pull wicker window look morning star |
The cock crows three times; the sky is almost light. Someone’s lined up bowls of rice, along with flasks of tea. Anxiously, the peasants rush to start the ploughing early, I pull aside the willow shutter and gaze at the morning stars. |
