七言律詩 杜甫 野望

西山白雪三城戍, 南浦清江萬里橋。
海內風塵諸弟隔, 天涯涕淚一身遙。
唯將遲暮供多病, 未有涓埃答聖朝。
跨馬出郊時極目, 不堪人事日蕭條。

Du Fu A VIEW OF THE WILDERNESS

Snow is white on the westward mountains and on three fortified towns,
And waters in this southern lake flash on a long bridge.
But wind and dust from sea to sea bar me from my brothers;
And I cannot help crying, I am so far away.
I have nothing to expect now but the ills of old age.
I am of less use to my country than a grain of dust.
I ride out to the edge of town. I watch on the horizon,
Day after day, the chaos of the world.
