First Line: Farmers stark as stubble fields
Last Line: Hungry mouths do not drive shrewd bargains.
Subject(s): Chili
Farmers stark as stubble fields
Waiting for a sign from Heaven.
Tarnished Gods often keep them waiting
While the Great Tuchon
Buys at famine prices
Their work oxen.
Then the children buyers
Come from Shansi --
Hungry mouths do not drive shrewd bargains.
