Living
A Spring Feast
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Living
The paddy crops are waxing rich upon the Goose- Lake hill;
The fowls have just now gone to roost, the grunting pigs are still;
The mulberry casts a lengthening shade, — the festival is o'er,
And tipsy revellers are helped each to his cottage door.
