山豁如新几，日迟林间曲。丹桂望寒瓦，春花待晓蝶。未改云归乡，何人有母子。雪沉葱岭道，冰合青岑泉。空山吹晨曲，山鸟声相传。凤凰声不闻，愿作江南尘。寒尽独不去，忧怀庾家贫。
Emperor Yuan Zhen Sent a Poem Translation to the Southern Qin Snow in Dongchuan
东川南秦雪，
东南一水绿。
山豁如新几，
日迟林间曲。
丹桂望寒瓦，
春花待晓蝶。
未改云归乡，
何人有母子。
雪沉葱岭道，
冰合青岑泉。
空山吹晨曲，
山鸟声相传。
凤凰声不闻，
愿作江南尘。
寒尽独不去，
忧怀庾家贫。
翻译:
In Dongchuan, the snow covers the Southern Qin region,
An emerald river flows in the southeastern part.
The mountains appear like newly-polished pieces of furniture,
The sun lingers, casting a gentle curve through the woods.
Red plum blossoms gaze upon the frost-covered roofs,
Spring flowers await the arrival of the dawn butterflies.
Clouds have not yet returned to their hometown,
Who will accompany the mother and her child?
Snow sinks on the verdant Ling Range Road,
Ice forms, joining the green ridged springs.
A song of the dawn echoes through the empty mountains,
The sounds of mountain birds pass from one another.
The cry of the phoenix is unheard,
I desire to become a speck of dust in the south of the river.
Even when the cold recedes, my loneliness remains,
Worried about the poverty of the Yujia family.
