Traveling By Boat To Gold Harbor
|
Yuan Hongdao 1568-1610
Traveling By Boat To Gold Harbor,
Drinking With Sanmu and Wang Hui
How happy I feel in the country!
All along the riverbank
flowers on the hedges.
Old framers sit in the fields,
crushing lice;
river girls lie with their fishing poles,
asleep.
The households in this little harbor
pay their taxes in reeds;
the granery holds rice duties
collected from the barges.
We have a boat and some fresh wine to drink...
this happiness has nothing to do with money!
