Four Seasons
四时田园杂兴 [Four seasons Pastoral Miscellaneous]
范成大 [Chengda Fan] (Southern Song Dynasty)
昼出耘田夜绩麻，村庄儿女各当家。
童孙未解供耕织，也傍桑阴学种瓜。
Tilling the fields at dawn and spinning the ramie at night, people in the rural villages are busy with household affairs.
While the kids are too little to till or weave,
they try to learn how to grow gourds under the shades of mulberry trees by imitating the elders.
