A poem by Wang Wei (Tang dynasty)

An excerpt from the poem “A Farmhouse on the Wei River”:
In the slant of the sun on the countryside,
A herdsman is driving the cattle along the lane.
Peasants are waiting for the cattle and sheep to return.
There are whirring pheasants amongst sheaves of wheat, silkworms hiding in their cocoons,
The farmers enter the night with a smile,
And I long for the simple life.
Comments:
While fading light falls on the land, as the cattle and sheep trail down the country lane, an old man stands at the door of his thatched cottage leaning on a staff with thoughts of his son, the herd-boy, thinking of fluttering pheasants amongst sheaves of wheat, of silk worms asleep, among half-eaten mulberry leaves, of farmers returning with hoes hoisted on shoulders, exchanging words of hello. Oh, how I long for the simple life and sigh, as I sing the old song, oh, to be young again! (Classic of Poetry)
