The Mid Spring... Poem by Luo Zhihai

仲春


二月雷鳴勁
山川著綠裝
村村桃李豔
日日燕鶯忙
老樹雨滋茂
新芽風拂長
誰堪農事懶
昨夜蟄聲揚


The Mid Spring


In February thundered strongly
In the mountains and rivers dressed the green clothing
Peaches and plums were gorgeous every village
Day and day swallows and orioles were busy
Rain moistened the old trees exuberant
Wind blew the new buds long
Who can endure laziness in the farming?
The sounds of insect wings loud last evening
