Very Lush and Fragrant Grasses

 

萋 萋 芳 草
萋 萋 芳 草 春 绿
落 落 长 松 夏 寒。
牛 羊 自 归 村 巷
童 稚 不 识 衣 冠。
Qi Qi Fang Cao

Qi qi fang cao chun lu
Luo luo chang song xia han.
Niu yang zi gui cun xiang
Tong zhi bu shi yi guan.

 

Very Lush and Fragrant Grasses

Very lush and fragrant grasses a spring green
Natural and unrestrained tall pine trees cast cool summer shade.
By themselves, oxen and sheep return to the village lanes
Children live without knowing of governmental hats and clothes.
