雨中游天竺灵感观音院 ^①

蚕欲老，

麦半黄，

前山后山雨浪浪。

农夫辍耒 ^② 女废筐，

白衣仙人 ^③ 在高堂。

注释

①灵感观音院：在杭州上天竺。②辍耒（lěi）：停止农作。③白衣仙人：即观音。这里暗指官吏。

Visiting the Temple of the Compassionate God of Mercy on a Rainy Day

Silkworms grow old,

Wheat turns half gold.

On both sides of the hill the rain is pouring its fill.

Women can't weave baskets nor can men till the ground,

But high in the hall sits the immortal white-gowned.

赏析

本诗借讽刺观音菩萨来讽刺在其位而不谋其职的官僚，词情含蓄而强劲，语言通俗流畅，音韵和谐，具有鲜明的民歌风味。 ikiOLHM7u6uKqBAi2gjkAkdukjH2omVvSiIyxPR68Znc+kxGxshZOh2bP94SiLPf
