风雨
凄凉宝剑篇[1],
羁泊欲穷年。
黄叶仍风雨,
青楼[2]自管弦。
新知遭薄俗,
旧好隔良缘。
心断新丰[3]酒,
销愁斗几千。
这首诗反映诗人较落魄的心境,怀才不遇,借酒消愁。
注释:
[1]宝剑篇:唐初郭震所作。《新唐书·郭震传》载,武则天召他谈话,索其诗文,郭即呈上《宝剑篇》,中有句云:“非直接交游侠子,亦曾亲近英雄人。何言中路遭捐弃,零落飘沦古岳边。虽复沉埋无所用,犹能夜夜气冲天。”武则天看后大加称赏,立即加以重用。
[2]青楼:青色的高楼。此处指富贵人家。
[3]新丰:地名,在今陕西省西安市临潼县东,古时以产美酒闻名。
Wind and Rain
As an unused sword I’m as drear.
Oh,when will end my roaming year?
Yellow leaves fall in winds and rains;
Green mansions play strings and sing strains.
My new friends are left in the cold;
Can I often meet my peers old?
How I long for nectar divine
To drown my lonely grief in wind!
Note:The poet shows that he has more talent than recognition.
