Accommodation by Tom Sharp

I’m staying only for the night, but the old lady is cold. She served rice after dark and it’s undercooked. Her hut’s buried under frozen shadows. I’m embarrassed because I can’t give the usual thanks for this accommodation.

宿五松山下荀媪家 by 李白 (Li Bai)

我宿五松下,寂寥无所欢。 田家秋作苦,邻女夜舂寒。 跪进雕胡饭,月光明素盘。 令人惭漂母,三谢不能餐。
