令狐楚[1]
小院莺歌歇[2]，
长门[3]蝶舞多。
眼看春又去，
翠辇[4]不曾过。
注释：
[1] 令狐楚：唐宪宗的宰相。《千家诗》注说：“此写宫妃望主之情也。言小苑之内，春暮而莺声已歇。长门之中，但观蝶舞耳。是一年之春又去，而君王之翠辇曾不一经过焉。则宫中之人伤春而望幸可知矣。”这是一首宫怨诗。作者身为宰相，不写君臣知遇之恩却写长门冷宫之怨，可见诗人的同情心。
[2] 莺歌歇：黄莺不再啼叫，指暮春时节。
[3] 长门：长门宫，汉武帝皇后阿娇失宠后居住的地方。
[4] 翠辇：指皇帝乘坐的车驾。
Imperial Favor Lost
Linghu Chu
No orioles in the little garden sing,
But butterflies dance before the Long Gate.
In vain I see another fleeting spring;
No imperial cab passes by of late.
《思君恩》是唐代文学家令狐楚创作的一首五绝。这是一首宫怨作品，诗中描写一个遭贬谪、被遗弃整日处于深帷中的宫人的寂寞心理。此诗成功地运用了反衬、比兴等手法，风格明丽而不繁密，清俏而不浮艳，浅显而不直露。
