Harvest Home
Translated by William Jennings (1891) · From The Shi King (Jennings, 1891), Part IV, Book ii
Religion
Exuberant is the year!
Of millet and rice what store!
And the corn-lofts high are filled
With million loads and more,
For brewing sweet drinks and strong,
For offerings to our sires
And granddames gone before,
And for all each rite requires.
Ay blessings without end
Of every sort descend.
