Toiling Farmers —by Li Shen
李绅 《悯农》
锄禾日当午，
汗滴禾下土。
谁知盘中餐，
粒粒皆辛苦。
Toiling Farmers
By Li Shen
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray
Thanks to their toiling day?
This poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen who is known for expressing in-depth coverage of the rural life in his poems. The poem talks about farmers’ hard work for every single grain. The first two lines describe farmers keep toiling away despite the blazing heat at noon. The following two lines connect food in plate with farmers’ hard work. If they don’t toil, then who knows what you would eat.
