齐天乐
周邦彦
绿芜凋尽台城[1]路，
殊乡又逢秋晚。
暮雨生寒，
鸣蛩[2]劝织，
深阁时闻裁剪。
云窗静掩。
叹重拂罗裀[3]，
顿疏花簟[4]。
尚有綀[5]囊，
露萤[6]清夜照书卷。
荆江[7]留滞最久，
故人相望处，
离思何限。
渭水西风，
长安[8]乱叶，
空忆诗情宛转。
凭高眺远。
正玉液[9]新[10]，
蟹螯[11]初荐。
醉倒山翁[12]，
但愁斜照敛。

Universal Joy
Zhou Bangyan
Green trees are withered on the way to the capital;
In late autumn I stay by alien city wall.
Cold grows out of evening rain by and by,
The crickets seem to chirp for weaving maid,
Deep in her bower winter clothes are being made.
With windows quietly closed, I sigh
To change the bamboo mat for quilt of brocade.
Like poor scholar, I would read by the light
Of fireflies in the clear night.
By riverside the longest I stay,
Thinking of my old friends so far away.
How can my longing not lengthen with each day?
The river rippled by the western breeze,
The capital is covered with fallen leaves;
In vain do I remember the verse which grieves
Though it was written with ease.
I climb up high and look afar.
How good the new-brewed wine and new-caught crabs are!
Like an old poet I’ll be drunk,
Grieved to see the sinking sun so early sunk.
注释：
The poet is grieved at late autumn and the autumn of his life.
《齐天乐·正宫秋思》为宋代词人周邦彦的作品。全词笔法迂回曲折，感情沉郁顿挫。词的上片描绘秋景萧条，客子秋心寥落；下片写对故人和往事的追忆。词中化用了前人的词句，抒发了词人对荆江故旧的怀念。
“Zhou Bangyan Poem: Universal Joy” is the work of Zhou Bang Yan, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty. The whole lyric is a complex and melancholic composition. The upper part of the lyric depicts the depressed autumn scenery and the lonely heart of the guest; the lower part of the lyric is about the reminiscence of the deceased and past events. The lyrics use the words and phrases of the predecessors and express the lyricist’s nostalgia for the old days in Jing River.
