临江仙
夜登小阁忆洛中旧游
陈与义
忆昔午桥桥上饮，
坐中多是豪英。
长沟流月去无声。
杏花疏影里，
吹笛到天明。
二十余年如一梦，
此身虽在堪惊。
闲登小阁看新晴。
古今多少事，
渔唱起三更。
Riverside Daffodils
· Mount the Tower at Night to Recall the Former Visit in Luo Zhong
Chen Yuyi
I still remember drinking on the Bridge of Noon
With bright wits of the day.
The silent moon
On endless river rolled away.
In lacy shadows cast by apricot flowers
We played our flutes till morning hours.
O’er twenty years have passed like dreams;
It is a wonder that I’m still alive.
Carefree, I mount the tower bathed in moonbeams.
So many things passed long
Ago survive
Only in fishermen’s midnight song.
注释：
The poet compares moonlit nights in the south and in the north.
