Sixty Poems of Various Fields and Gardens in All Four Seasons: No. 1

四 时 田 园 杂 兴 六 十 首 并 引

柳 花 深 巷 午 鸡 声
桑 叶 尖 新 绿 未 成。
坐 睡 觉 来 无 一 事
满 窗 晴 日 看 蚕 生。

(1) Si Shi Tian Yuan Za Xing Liu Shi Shou Bing Yin

Liu hua shen xiang wu ji sheng
Sang ye jian xin lu wei cheng.
Zuo shui jue lai yi shi
Man chuang qing ri kan can sheng.

Sixty Poems of Various Fields and Gardens in All Four Seasons: No. 1

Willow tree flowers, at mid-day deep alley with chicken sounds
Unfolding mulberry leaf tips, green and yet to produce.
Without a thing to do, sit here sleeping away
Sun-filled windows, all day watch the silkworms emerge.
