李白

子夜四时歌 春歌

秦地罗敷女， 采桑绿水边。

素手青条上， 红妆白日鲜。

蚕饥妾欲去， 五马莫留连。

Folk-song-styled-verse

Li Bai

BALLADS OF FOUR SEASONS： SPRING

The lovely Lo Fo of the western land

Plucks mulberry leaves by the waterside.

Across the green boughs stretches out her white hand；

In golden sunshine her rosy robe is dyed.

"my silkworms are hungry, I cannot stay.

Tarry not with your five-horse cab, I pray."
