麗譙聽盡短長更,幽夢無端故不成。
寒雨似從心上滴,孤燈偏向枕邊明。
讀書有味身忘老,報國無期涕每傾。
敢為衰殘便虛死,誓先鄰曲事春耕。
麗譙聽盡短長更,幽夢無端故不成。
寒雨似從心上滴,孤燈偏向枕邊明。
讀書有味身忘老,報國無期涕每傾。
敢為衰殘便虛死,誓先鄰曲事春耕。
我在譙樓上聽盡了報時的更鼓,長夜漫漫。
幽深的夢境無緣無故,總是難以成全。
寒冷的雨滴,仿佛是從心頭上滴落,
孤獨的燈火,偏偏在枕邊顯得格外明亮。
讀書的滋味讓我忘卻了身體的衰老,
報國無望,淚水每每傾瀉而下。
怎敢因爲衰老殘年就白白地死去?
我發誓要先與鄉鄰們一起從事春耕。
I've listened to the watchtower's drum through the long and short watches of the night,
Yet my elusive dream, for no reason, refuses to take flight.
The chill rain seems to drip from the very core of my heart,
While the solitary lamp stubbornly brightens beside my pillow, apart.
Finding flavor in reading, I forget my aging frame,
With no hope to serve my country, tears of sorrow ever claim.
How dare I, in my decline, embrace an empty death in vain?
I vow to first join my neighbors in the spring ploughing on the plain.
深夜無眠是對時間周期的敏感認知。
刻畫詩人長夜難眠、思緒紛擾的孤寂心境。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
