鹊桥仙
夜闻杜鹃
陆游
茅檐人静，
蓬窗灯暗，
春晚连江风雨。
林莺巢燕总无声，
但月夜、
常啼杜宇。
催成清泪，
惊残孤梦，
又拣深枝飞去。
故山犹自不堪听，
况半世、
飘然羁旅！
Immortal at the Magpie Bridge
· Hearing the Cuckoo’s Cry at Night
Lu You
Under the thatched eaves all’s still at night;
By the straw window flickers candlelight,
While wind and rain o’erspread the river in late spring.
Nor orioles nor swallows in their nests will sing,
But I hear the cuckoo’s cry
Oft rend the moonlit sky.
Urging clear tears to stream
And startling me from lonely dream,
Away to a deep-hidden branch they fly.
Even in native hills I could not stand their song,
Let alone after half my life drifting along.
注释：
The poet is sad to hear the cuckoo’s home-going song for he cannot go home without recovering the lost land.
