瘦馬扁舟跡已勤,三鄉行盡獨傷神。
湖邊圍漲魚龍富,野外田乾燕雀貧。
豈有異能裨此理,試留餘澤遺斯民。
東南步武豐凶別,卻笑天心似未均。
瘦馬扁舟跡已勤,三鄉行盡獨傷神。
湖邊圍漲魚龍富,野外田乾燕雀貧。
豈有異能裨此理,試留餘澤遺斯民。
東南步武豐凶別,卻笑天心似未均。
瘦馬與小舟,我的行跡已很勤勉;
走遍三鄉之地,獨自一人,心神傷悲。
湖邊水勢漲滿,魚龍富足繁多;
野外田地乾旱,燕雀貧瘠困苦。
我豈有特殊才能來增益這道理?
試著留下些餘澤,遺留給這些百姓。
東南方每一步,豐年與凶年景象有別;
卻笑那上天之心,似乎並不均勻。
A lean horse and a small boat, my traces have been diligent;
Passing three villages, alone, my spirit is wounded.
By the lake, the swollen waters teem with fish and dragons;
In the wild fields, parched and dry, swallows and sparrows are poor.
How could I have any special power to aid this principle?
I try to leave some remaining grace for these people.
East and south, step by step, abundance and disaster differ;
Yet I laugh, as if Heaven's heart were not impartial.
巡行賑災,是對治理責任的具體實踐與反思。
描寫按察災情途中的艱辛與目睹民生凋敝的傷感。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
