Introduction
Nature's range hoards all told grains; here soak the vernal rains terrene. Hands cup growth and decay in flooding drops, to dye deep jade the thousand fields.
Come the plants, a year we plow Stir mists the winds, sing orioles Pray rains keep falling (come) winters told by springs Day and night, light flows like dark Revel in dust, this soaring past May rain birth our yields (come) endless fertile fields
(Ah) Wastelands (Frostrime thaws, seasons heed, unto when?) Summer to fall, change where change comes Boundless (Spring shines down, dried trees bloom, unto where?) Verdant or winged, dead by leaves' turn Restless (Sun, moon stars, the eclipse, unto what?) Storms in jade dew, realm beyond glimpse All things that be
Skies grow dark, rains we hark Skies grow dark, rains we hark Skies grow dark
West winds stir the fragrant rice Cicadas' dusk rings in the frost Sleep well to snowfall (come) on harvests grow strong Stillest realm, full stores of grains Red skies at night, fine luck and health Turn as the year turns (come) so all can be grown
(Ah) All ways (Frostrime thaws, seasons heed, unto when?) Summer to fall, change where change comes Boundless (Spring shines down, dried trees bloom, unto where?) Verdant or winged, dead by leaves' turn Restless (Sun, moon stars, the eclipse, unto what?) Storms in jade dew, realm beyond glimpse All things that be
Skies grow dark, rains we hark Skies grow dark, rains we hark Skies grow dark, grow dark
