Listen to this article《如梦令·遥夜沉沉》是北宋词人秦观创作的一首词。此词借写夜宿驿舍的况味，诉说旅途的艰辛，把旅途的孤独凄清和驿亭的寒冷萧瑟描写得让人读来如临其境。词里没有一句涉及作者本人的心情，作者是通过对环境的感受以及直接对情景的描写来传达内心。夜色如水是联想，风吹驿亭是耳闻，老鼠窥灯是目见，寒气侵被是身受，层层叠加，气氛顿出，可谓别具特色。
秦观·《如梦令·遥夜沉沉》
遥夜沉沉如水，
风紧驿亭深闭。
梦破鼠窥灯，
霜送晓寒侵被。
无寐，
无寐，
门外马嘶人起。
Ru Meng Ling
Qin Guan
The long night is draggy like water.
The wind sharp, the stage coach inn has its doors shut tight.
Starting from a dream, I see a mouse peering by the lamp.
The morning chill, borne by frost,
Invades my bedding.
No rest.
No rest.
Outside, horses neigh, people rising.
