水亭 蔡確


水亭      蔡確 (1037-1093)

紙屏石枕竹方床,手倦拋書午夢長。
睡起莞然成獨笑,數聲漁笛在滄浪。

Pavilion amid water      Cai Que (1037-1093)

On a bamboo lounge behind a paper curtain I lay on a stone pillow to read,
Tired, I dropped my book and dozed off and just let time fleet,
Awakened, relishing the leisure I’ve enjoyed, I sat alone smiling with contented glee,
Presently into my ears soul comforting flutes from fishermen on the River Canglang have reached.
