劉子翬《種菜》“Growing Vegetables” by Liu Zihui (1101-1147)

傍舍植柔蔬，

攜鋤理荒穢。

桔橰勤俯仰，

一雨功百倍。

朝來綠映土，

新葉揺肺肺。

牛羊勿踐畦，

肉食屠爾輩。

By my abode, tender vegetables are planted:

With a hoe, [I] tilled the wasteland.

The well sweep bows and rises with diligence,

And once it rains, the effect is a hundredfold.

As dawn breaks, green shines against the soil,

New leaves rustle softly.

Cows and goats, tread not upon [my] plot,

Lest a meat eater shall slaughter your kind.
