The Taiwan field mouse (Apodemus semotus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in Taiwan.
Based on morphological measurements, it has been suggested that the Taiwan field mouse is not different from the South China field mouse (Apodemus draco), and should not be considered as a separate species.

At midday when a sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,”
