Sympathizing with Farmers
Li Shen (772 - 846, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
Ploughing the rice field at mid-noon,
Sweat drips off into the soil beneath the crops;
Who is to realize that the rice in the plate
Came with hard work, grain by grain?
── from Quan Tang Shi (Complete Collection of Tang Poems)
