Walked through the paddy fields Following a brown dragonfly Standing Scare crows made of hay in old clothes and a hat Row of women working in the fields White herons feeding from the shallow water Looks like white pearls on a green necklace Children chasing a calf with a loud cry Folk songs of farming from the village are heard far away Some fields getting ready for the cultivation Men ploughing fields with white oxen An old man guiding a flock of quacking ducks to their way Waiting for them to cross the lane like nursery kids Running with a bunch of paddy in my hands With a pleasant smile of the dragonfly following me !
