Visiting the Temple of the God of Mercy on a Rainy Day
Su Shi
宋代苏轼《雨中游天竺灵感观音院》:
蚕欲老,麦半黄,前山后山雨浪浪。
农夫辍耒女废筐,白衣仙人在高堂。
Silkworm grow old Wheat half yellow Around mountain rain unrestrained Farmer person stop plough Women discard basket White clothes immortals on high hall |
The silkworms grow old, The wheat half yellow, The rain falls unrestrained about the mountain. The farmers cannot work the land, Nor women gather mulberry, The Immortals sit high in white robes in the hall. |
