Three Ancient Poems

Seasonal Poems on Fields and Gardens (25th)

the Song Dynasty】Fan Chengda

Plum becomes golden, apricot also grows bigger and bigger,

Buckwheat flowers are snow-white, while rape flowers are sparse.

The shadow of the fence became shorter and shorter as the sun rose, and no one passed by,

Only dragonflies and butterflies flew around the fence.

At an Inn in Xinshi

the Song Dynasty】Yang Wanli

The fence is thinly built, the path leads far away;

The trees have new leaves but provide not yet shade.

A chased yellow butterfly seeks refuge among rape flowers,

Leaving the children puzzled where to find and catch it.

Pure Serene Music

the Song Dynasty】Xin Qiji

The thatched roof slants low,

Beside the brook green grasses grow.

Who talks with drunken Southern voice to please?

White-haired man and wife at their ease.

East of the brook their eldest son is hoeing weeds;

Their second son now makes a cage for hens he feeds.

How pleasant to see their spoiled youngest son who heeds

Nothing but lies by brookside and pods lotus seeds!
