牽絲引蔓，
野外無人管。
纔見草簷花一半，
又早青黄堆滿。
Twining tendrils, trailing vines
Sit in the wild with no one caring.
[I] just found [their] leafy hut half in blossom,
And soon a wealth of green and yellow.
今年榖貴民飢，
村村剥盡榆皮。
合付田翁一飽，
全家婦子嘻嘻。
In such a year of costly grains and hungry men,
Each village peels off elm bark, leaving nothing.
[These pumpkins] will make a good meal for a farmer,
And a reason to smile for his wife and children.
