小寒食舟中作 - 杜甫

Festival of Clear Brightness - Du Fu

佳辰强饮食犹寒,隐几萧条戴鹖冠。
春水船如天上坐,老年花似雾中看。
娟娟戏蝶过闲幔,片片轻鸥下急湍。
云白山青万余里,愁看直北是长安。

I force drink and cold food in auspicious times, propped desolately against the table wearing a pheasant-feather hat.
The spring waters raise the vessel into the sky, the fog of old age blurs the bank’s flowers.
Graceful butterflies playfully pass the relaxed sail, flocks of gulls lightly descend into the rapids.
White clouds and verdant mountains extend without limit, my pointed gaze remains northward towards Chang’an.
