River Wei Country House by Tang dynasty poet Wang Wei
Setting sun shines upon the village,
Shabby alley cows and sheep return.
Old folks worry about herdsmen,
Leaning on cane waiting by the wooden gate.
Pheasant calls wheat sprouts appear,
Silkworms sleep mulberry leaves sparse.
Field workers shoulder hoes home,
Meet each other and talk on and on.
All this, admire the leisure and ease,
Regretfully recite a poem of going back.*
*Si wei is the title of one of the poems in the volume of classic poems.
