宿 龙 回
大 熟 虚 成 喜
微 生 亦 可 嗟。
禾 头 已 生 耳
雨 脚 尚 如 麻。
顷 者 官 收 米
精 于 玉 绝 瑕。
四 山 云 又 合
奈 尔 老 农 家！

Nai er lao nong jia!
Stay Overnight in Long Hui
Planted hoping for a large harvest, now these hopes all in vain
Peasant lives also full of lament.
Autumn grains already have a fungus disease
Traces of raindrops enough to create a cover like burlap.
The tax collector officials will soon ask for their payments in grain
But now the best rice too flawed to satisfy these tax collectors.
Clouds surround the mountains on all four sides
How can these old farmer households survive this!
Notes:
Long Hui: Area in Hunan Province.
