《琵琶仙: 中秋》納蘭性德
碧海年年 試問取 冰輪為誰圓缺 吹到一片秋香 清輝瞭如雪 愁中看好天良夜 知道盡成悲咽 只影而今 那堪重對 舊時明月
花徑裡 戲捉迷藏 曾惹下蕭蕭井梧葉 記否輕紈小扇 又幾番涼熱 只落得 填膺百感 總茫茫 不關離別 一任紫玉無情 夜寒吹裂
《Tune: Pi Pa Immortals – Mid-Autumn》 Nalan Xingde (1655-1685)
Green clear sky year by year
I ask
For whom the moon crests and fully appears Continue reading
《馬嵬驛》袁枚 (1716-1797)
莫唱當年長恨歌
人間亦自有銀河
石壕村里夫妻别
淚比長生殿上多
《Beauty Legend》 Yuan Mei (1716-1797)
Sing not the Long Regret Song of days gone
The Milky Way on earth happily lives on
When at an ordinary village man and wife separate
More than in the Palace of Long Life tears are shed
《曲江二首》杜甫(710-770)
一片花飛減卻春 風飄萬點正愁人
且看欲盡花經眼 莫厭傷多酒入唇
江上小堂巢翡翠 花邊高冢臥麒麟
細推物理須行樂 何用浮名絆此身
朝回日日典春衣 每日江頭盡醉歸
酒債尋常行處有 人生七十古來稀
穿花蛺蝶深深見 點水蜻蜓款款飛
傳語風光共流轉 暫時相賞莫相違
《The Winding River — Two Poems》Du Fu
(I)
A single falling petal has spring spent
Myriad colorful dots in the wind a worrisome man stands
Enjoy the sumptuous beauty as petals fly pass the eye
Spare no grief as you wet your lips with mellow wines Continue reading
《登樓》杜甫 (710-770)
花近高樓傷客心 萬方多難此登臨
錦江春色來天地 玉壘浮雲變古今
北極朝廷終不改 西山寇盜莫相侵
可憐後主還祠廟 日暮聊為梁父吟
《Atop the Tower》Du Fu (710-770)
Seeing flowers stray around the tower my heart grieves
In the chaos I ascend the tower to view all corners
By the River Jin spring colors burst everywhere seen
Above the Jade Mount clouds change as human affairs had been
Stupor is our government unchanging as the North Star
We must stop the forays of foreign invaders and hold them there
Pity the temple of the Late Emperor Liu
In the evening gloom I sing a threnody whence due
《絕句二首》杜甫 (710-770)
（其一） （其二）
遲日江山麗 春風花草香 江碧鳥逾白 山青花欲燃
泥融飛燕子 沙暖睡鴛鴦 今春看又過 何日是歸年
《Two Quatrains》Du Fu
(I)
Under the late setting sun this landscape is beautiful
Vernal breezes fill the air with sweet vegetation scents plentiful
Swallows build nests carrying mud in tiny beaks
On warm sands mandarin ducks nod too content to speak Continue reading
《歲暮》杜甫 (710-770)
歲暮遠為客 邊隅還用兵
煙塵犯雪嶺 鼓角動江城
天地日流血 朝廷誰請纓
濟時敢愛死 寂寞壯心驚
《Late in the Year》Du Fu
At year-end everyone feels far from home
This war continues where remote frontiers roam
Dusts stirred up by fighting cloud the Snow Mount
The sounds of drums and bugles shiver this river town
Heaven and earth bear witness to bloodshed everyday
Who is able to help keep this conflict at bay
To help win this war death I fear not
In solitude my bravery stops my death-fears not
(其一） （其二）
麗日藍天路豁開 風馳電掣不快哉 七月繁花不沾塵 好山好水倍銷魂
湖光山色飽饗眼 人間仙境入鏡來（1） 解道此身非我有 何妨長作班芙人（2）
（1）鏡，鏡頭 （2）班芙Banff
《古從軍行》 李颀 (690-751)
白日登山望烽火 黃昏飲馬傍交河
行人刁斗風沙暗 公主琵琶幽怨多
野雲萬里無城郭 雨雪紛紛連大漠
胡雁哀鳴夜夜飛 胡兒眼淚雙雙落
聞道玉門猶被遮 應將性命逐輕車
年年戰骨埋荒外 空見蒲桃入漢家 Continue reading
“適之先生：
看山霧
接到了你的信，和幾首詩，讀了幾遍，覺得極有趣味。
到底是我沒有讀新體詩的習慣呢？還是新體詩，另是一種好玩的東西呢？抑或是兩樣都有呢，這些疑問，還是梗在我的心頭。
只是我還有一個見解，我以為花樣是層出不窮的，新花樣出來，舊花樣仍然存在，誰也替不了誰，例如曲替不了詞，詞替不了詩，故此我和那絕對主張舊詩體仇視新體詩的人，固然不對，但是對於那些絕對主張新體詩抹殺舊體詩的人，也覺得太過。
你那首看山霧詩，我覺得極妙，我從前有相類的詩，隨便寫在下面給你看看。
曉煙
槲葉深黃楓葉紅，老松奇翠欲拏空
朝來別有空濛意，都在蒼煙萬頃中。
初陽如月逗輕寒，咫尺林原成遠看；
記得江南煙雨裡，小姑鬟影落春瀾。
煙霞洞
你如果來上海，
要知會我一聲。
祝你的康健
兆銘十月四日”
【謝謝梁梓堅和陳柏齡找到胡適(1891-1962)的《看山霧》】
《曉煙》
槲葉深黃楓葉紅 老松奇翠欲拏空
朝來別有空濛意 都在蒼煙萬頃中
初陽如月逗輕寒 咫尺林原成遠看
記得江南煙雨裡 小姑鬟影落春瀾
《Hazy Dawn》
Loaming over brown shrubs maple reds shine
Verdant greens in old pines dye up the sky
At dawn there is an air of mystery
The vast country veiled in heavy mist
The rising sun mimics the moon to tease the cool sphere
The tree-lined plain seen from a distance is whole and near
Remember the beauty of the south under misty rains
Maidens stay down river to wash their untied hair-buns in spring Continue reading
