Sighs of Autumn Rain (2) by Du Fu
Continuous wind long rain autumn numerous and confused Four seas eight wastes together one cloud Go horse come ox no longer distinguish Muddy Jing clear Wei how now distinguish Grain head grow ear millet ear black Farmer field wife without news City in ten litres rice exchange quilt silk Agree better consider both mutual worth
Ceaseless wind and lengthy rain swirl together this autumn, The four seas and eight deserts are covered by one cloud. A horse going, an ox coming, cannot be distinguished, How now can the muddy Jing and clear Wei be told apart? The standing grain begins to sprout, the millet's ears turn black, Farmers and the farmers' wives have no hopeful news. In the city, a bucket of rice can cost a silken quilt, And both the buyer and seller have to agree the bargain is fair.
