Listen to this article 如梦令·残柳
（一九四二年秋）
叶嘉莹
冷落清秋时节，
枝上晚蝉声咽。
瘦影太伶仃，
忍向寒塘自瞥。
凄绝。
凄绝。
肠断晓风残月。
Weathered Willow
To the Tune of “Dreamy Melody” (Fall, 1942)
Florence Chia-ying Yeh
Desolation deep in autumn –
cicadas weep in the tree.
Lonesome her slender shadow –
braving a peek at herself in the cold pond.
Forlorn, O forlorn is
heartbreak under the crescent moon in the morning breeze.
