春雲濛濛雨淒淒,春秧欲老翠剡齊。
嗟我婦子行水泥,朝分一壠暮千畦。
腰如箜篌首啄雞,筋煩骨殆聲酸嘶。
我有桐馬手自提,頭尻軒昂腹脇低。
背如覆瓦去角圭,以我兩足為四蹄。
聳踴滑汰如鳧鷖,纖纖束藁亦可齎。
何用繁纓與月題,卻從畦東走畦西。
山城欲閉聞鼓鼙,忽作的盧躍檀溪。
歸來掛壁從高棲,了無芻秣饑不啼。
少壯騎汝逮老黧,何曾蹶軼防顛隮。
錦韉公子朝金閨,笑我一生蹋牛犁,不知自有木駃騠。

春天的雲霧迷濛,細雨淒涼;
田裡的秧苗將老,翠綠的葉尖整齊如削。
可嘆我的妻子兒女行走在泥水之中;
清晨才分好一壟地,傍晚已插完千畦。
腰彎得像箜篌,頭低得像啄食的雞;
筋骨疲憊不堪,發出酸楚的嘶啞聲。
我有一匹桐木做的馬,親手提起;
頭和臀部高昂,腹部和兩側低伏。
背部像倒扣的瓦片,稜角已被磨去;
用我的雙腳當作它的四蹄。
聳身跳躍,滑行汰泥,如同水鳥般輕盈;
只需一束細細的稻草也可攜帶。
哪裡需要華麗的馬纓和月形的馬額飾?
只管從田畦的東邊走到西邊。
山城將要關閉時,聽到戰鼓聲聲;
忽然像的盧馬一樣躍過檀溪。
回來後將它掛在牆上,棲息在高處;
完全無需草料,餓了也不嘶鳴。
從年輕力壯到年老髮黑都騎著你;
何曾跌倒失足,要防備墜落險境?
那些配著錦繡鞍韉的公子們奔向宮廷;
嘲笑我一生腳踏泥濘與牛犁為伴,
卻不知我自己擁有一匹木製的駿馬。
Spring clouds hang low, the rain falls drear and chill;
The rice shoots, nearly grown, stand sharp and emerald still.
Alas, my wife and children trudge through muddy fields;
From dawn's one ridge to dusk, a thousand plots they yield.
Their backs like harps bent low, their heads like pecking hens;
Their sinews tired, bones spent, their voices strained and thin.
I have a wooden horse I lift with my own hand;
Its head and rump held high, its belly close to land.
Its back like an upturned tile, its corners smoothed and round;
With my two legs as four hooves, I glide along the ground.
I leap and slide with ease, like ducks upon the stream;
A slender bundle of straw is all I need, it seems.
What use are fancy reins or moon-shaped plates so bright?
I simply move from east to west, from left to right.
As twilight nears the town, I hear the battle drum;
Suddenly, like a steed, across the stream I come.
Returning, I hang it high upon the wall to rest;
It needs no feed nor drink, nor hunger's cry suppressed.
From youth till age I've ridden you, my hair turned gray;
You've never stumbled, thrown me, or led me astray.
Young lords on broidered saddles ride to court with pride;
They laugh that I, my whole life long, with plow and ox abide,
Not knowing I possess a wooden steed inside.
觀察農時體現對自然週期的深刻認知。
描繪春雨中秧苗生長的田園景象,蘊含對農事的關切。
本詩為七言古詩,押平聲韻。
