山中：五绝句
岭上云
岭 上 白 云 朝 来 散
田 中 青 麦 旱 将 枯。
自 生 自 灭 成 何 事
能 逐 东 风 作 雨 无？

Among the Mountains: Mountain Ridge Clouds: Five Four-Line Poems
(1)
At dawn, white clouds do not disperse above the mountain peaks
Green fields of grain, lack of water withers their roots.
Naturally perish before more stalks emerge, they are things needing help
Can we not have the eastern breezes bring some more rainfall?
