Young Children Ridicule Me
嘲 稚 子
雨 里 般 中 不 自 田
无 愁 稚 子 亦 成 愁。
看 渠 坐 睡 何 曾 醒
及 至 教 眠 却 掉 头。
Chao Zhi Zi
Yu li pan zhong bu zi tian
Wu chou zhi zi yi cheng chou.
Kan qu zuo shui he ceng xing
Ji zhi jiao mian que diao tou.

Under the boat’s lean-to, rain also falls upon the fields
Young children without sorrows, moan like they have some.
They sit and watch the canal waters go by and fall asleep
Droopy heads and eyelids until now, may not do so come nightfall.
