秋詞二首(其一) 劉禹錫

秋詞二首(其一)    劉禹錫 (772-842)
自古逢秋悲寂寥， 我言秋日勝春朝。
晴空一鶴排雲上， 便引詩情到碧霄。

An Autumnal Verse (Poem No.1)          Liu Yuxi (772-842)

Autumnal melancholy and solitude has been plaguing people from of old,
Compared to a spring morning I find an autumn day even more congenial,
In the hyaline azure ether a heron cuts across the cloudscape all by itself,
The azure heavens my poetic muse will mount as well.
