Washing Creek Sand: Date Blossoms Rustle onto My Robe
簌簌衣巾落枣花，
村南村北响缲车，
牛衣古柳卖黄瓜。
Rustling, the date blossoms fall on head-cloth and coat; north and south of the village the reeling-wheels hum; beside an old willow, in a cloak of straw, someone sells cucumbers.
酒困路长惟欲睡，
日高人渴漫思茶。
敲门试问野人家。
Heavy with wine, the road long, I only want to sleep; the sun is high, I am thirsty, and idly think of tea. I knock at a door and ask the folk of the hamlet.
Reading notes
缲 is a variant of 缫 and is read sāo in 缲车, a silk-reeling wheel. 漫 also appears as 谩; this page retains 漫.
