Return to the Garden (3)

Tao Yuanming

I planted beans at the foot of Nanshan, and the weeds in the field were covered with peas.

Get up early in the morning to get rid of weeds, and come back with hoes in the moonlight at night.

The narrow path covered with vegetation, the night dew wet my clothes.

It's not a pity to get wet, but I hope it won't be against my will.

Translation:

I plant beans at the foot of Nanshan, where weeds are flourishing and peas are sparse.

Get up early to get rid of weeds, and go home with a hoe in the moonlight at night.

The narrow path was covered with vegetation, and the night dew wet my clothes.

It's not a pity that my clothes are wet. I just hope it won't go against my original intention of returning to agriculture.
