Pure Serene Music
by Xin Qiji
translated by Xu Yuanchong
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!
清平乐·村居·茅檐低小
[宋] 辛弃疾
茅檐低小,溪上青青草。
醉里吴音相媚好,白发谁家翁媪?
大儿锄豆溪东,中儿正织鸡笼。
最喜小儿亡赖,溪头卧剥莲蓬
