臨江仙 陳與義

臨江仙  夜登小閣，憶洛中舊遊    陳與義 (1090- 1138)
憶昔午橋橋上飲，坐中都是豪英。

長溝流月去無聲，杏花疏影裡，吹笛到天明。
二十餘年如一夢，此身雖在堪驚。
閒登小閣看新晴，古今多少事，漁唱起三更。

Lin Jiang Xin       Chen Yuyi (1090- 1138)

Mounting the Little Chamber at night, I recall my previous visits to Luoyang

Recalling that year on the Noon Bridge I threw a booze,

Joining me there were many a hero,
In the glittering waters of the long fosse the moon serenely flowed,
Amidst the checkered apricot blossom shadows I played the fife throughout the night till dawn called,
Twenty years fleeted away as a dream cameo,
Though now I am still hearty and hale,
With my country broken in a debacle,
I am greatly appalled,
Insouciantly I mount this chamber again to relish the scenery under the fresh moon glow,
Presently all stories of the past ages in the midnight fishermen songs dissolve.
