Taking Down a Trellis by Du Fu
Tie stick already wither and fall Pumpkin leaf become sparse Lucky bear fruit white flower finish Better take leave green vine eliminate Autumn insect sound not go Dusk sparrow think what Cold thing now lie waste Human life also have beginning
The sticks I tied already wither and fall, The pumpkin leaves are getting sparse and thin. It's lucky that the white flowers fully grew, You have to help the green vines fade away. There's no end to the sound of insects in autumn, Whatever's in the minds of the sparrows at dusk? Now, the world is one of cold and waste; Human life has its beginning too.
