I was walking by the road， I do not know why， when the noonday was past and bamboo branches rustled in the wind.
我在路边行走，也不知道为什么，时已过午，竹枝在风中簌簌作响。
The prone shadows with their outstretched arms clung to the feet of the hurrying light.
横斜的影子伸臂拖住流光的双足。
The koels were weary of their songs.
布谷鸟都唱倦了。
I was walking by the road， I do not know why.

The hut by the side of the water is shaded by an overhanging tree.

Some one was busy with her work， and her bangles made music in the corner.

I stood before this hut， I know not why.

The narrow winding road crosses many a mustard field， and many a mango forest.

It passes by the temple of the village and the market at the river landing place.

I stopped by this but， I do not know why.

Years age it was a day of breezy March when the murmur if the spring was languorous， and mango blossoms were dropping on the dust.
好几年前，三月风吹的一天，春天倦慵地低语，芒果花落在地上。
The rippling water leapt and licked the brass vessel that stood on the landing step.
浪花跳起掠过立在渡头阶沿上的铜瓶。
I think of that day of breezy March， I do not know why.

Shadows are deepening and cattle returning to their folds.
阴影更深，牛群归栏。
The light is grey upon the lonely meadows， and the village are waiting for the ferry at the bank.
冷落的牧场上日色苍白，村人在河边待渡。
I slowly return upon my steps， I do not know why.
