Levee Partitioned Fields: Ten Poems: No. 7
圩 丁 词 十 解
儿 郎 幸 苦 莫 呼 天
一 日 修 圩 一 岁 眼。
六 七 月 头 无 点 雨
试 登 高 处 望 圩 田。
Wei Ding Ci Shi Jie
Er lang xing ku mo hu tian
Yi ri xiu wei yi sui yan.
Liu qi yue tou wu dian yu
Shi deng gao chu wang wei tian.
Levee Partitioned Fields: Ten Poems: No. 7
Young officials tell the people not to suffer, the skies will clear up to reveal their good fortune
Repairing levees is hard work, but one day we will have a year of prosperity.
Sixth and seventh lunar months are hot with very little rainfall
Gaze into the distance, the levees and fields are tall and ready for the harvests.
