燕子来舟中作 by 杜甫

湖南为客动经春，燕子衔泥两度新。 旧入故园尝识主，如今社日远看人。 可怜处处巢居室，何异飘飘托此身。 暂语船樯还起去，穿花贴水益沾巾。

Written in the Boat When Swallows Come (literal translation of Du Fu’s poem)

I have been a guest in Hunan for the spring, and the swallows have brought mud twice. I used to know the owner when I entered the old garden, but now I see people from afar on the festival day. It’s a pity that there are nests everywhere, but they are just floating around. I said for a moment that the boat masts are rising again, and the flowers are wet on the water.
