诉衷情近
柳永
雨晴气爽，
伫立江楼望处。
澄明远水生光，
重叠暮山耸翠。
遥认断桥幽径，
隐隐渔村，
向晚孤烟起。
残阳里。
脉脉朱阑静倚。
黯然情绪，
未饮先如醉。
愁无际。
暮云过了，
秋光老尽，
故人千里。
竟日空凝睇。
Telling Innermost Feeling
Liu Yong
The air is fresh on a fine day after the rain,
I stand in a riverside tower and gaze.
Afar the water stretches clear and bright.
Green hills on hills tower in the twilight.
I find the broken bridge and quiet lane
In fisher’s village veiled in haze,
At dusk I see lonely smoke rise.
Seeing the sun sink,
Silent I lean on railings red,
With sorrow fed,
I’m drunk before I drink.
Boundless is my grief cold,
Evening clouds pass before my eyes.
Autumn turns old.
My friends stay miles away;
In vain I gaze all the long day.
