《浣溪沙·常山道中即事》 辛弃疾
北陇田高踏水频，
西溪禾早已尝新。
隔墙沽酒煮纤鳞。
忽有微凉何处雨，
更无留影霎时云。
卖瓜人过竹边村。
Sights on a Trip to Changshan
Xin Qiji
On the north bank the fields are high, tread-wheels are pumping water;
By the west stream the crops ripen early, already they have eaten new rice;
I buy wine from next door and cook small fish.
A breath of cool air—it must have rained near by—
But in a flash the shadows of the clouds are gone
And a melon-vendor passes the village by the bamboos.
