《吳中田婦嘆》 蘇軾

今年粳稻熟苦遲，庶見霜風來幾時。
霜風來時雨如瀉，杷頭出菌鐮生衣。
眼枯淚盡雨不盡，忍見黃穗臥青泥！
茅苫一月隴上宿，天晴獲稻隨車歸；
汗流肩赪載入市，價賤乞與如糠粃。
賣牛納稅拆屋炊，慮淺不及明年饑。
官今要錢不要米，西北萬里招羌兒。
龔黃滿朝人更苦，不如卻作河伯婦！

Lament of a Peasant Woman
Su Shi

This year the rice harvest is late,
Soon blighting winds will blow;
But before the wind comes torrential rain,
The sickle is rusted, the rake thick with mold.
She weeps till her eyes are dry, still the rain pours down;
It hurts to see the yellow ears flat in the mud.
A whole month she stays in a straw hut by the fields;
Once it clears, she reaps the rice and carts it home;
Sweating, shoulders chafed red, she carries her grain to market—
All she gets is the price of chaff!
She sells her ox to pay the tax, pulls down her hut for fuel,
Too simple to worry about next year’s hunger;
Now the court demands money instead of rice,
To buy over the northwest tribesmen ten thousand li off.
The more wise men at court, the harder the people's lot—
Harder than being bride to the River God.
