《夜游宮·記夢寄師伯渾》 陸游
雪曉清笳亂起,夢游處、不知何地。鐵騎無聲望似水。想關河:雁門西,青海際。
睡覺寒燈里,漏聲斷、月斜窗紙。自許封侯在萬里。有誰知,鬢雖殘,心未死!
Palace Visited at Night
A Dream
Lu You
On snowy morning I hear flute on flute pell-mell
Where did I dream? I know not well.
I seemed to see a flood of silent cavaliers
On the northern frontiers,
West of the Wild Geese Pass
By desert-side, alas!
Awake, I only find cold candlelight,
The water clock no longer goes,
At my paper window peeps the slanting moonlight.
I promised to win victory far away.
But, O, who knows?
My hope sinks dead, my hair turns grey.
