Of Spring water,—thirty or forty miles:

In the evening sunlight,—three or four houses.

Youths and boys minding geese and ducks:

Women and girls tending mulberries and hemp.

The place,—remote: their coats and scarves old:

The year,—fruitful:

their talk and laughter gay.

The old wanderer moors his flat boat

And staggers up the bank to pluck wistaria flowers.
