《后宮詞》是唐代詩人白居易的作品。這是代宮人所作的怨詞。首句寫夜來不寐,夢想君王臨幸;二句寫忽聞前殿歌聲,君王來幸無望;三句寫紅顏猶在,君恩已斷之苦;四句寫再幻想君王可能來幸,于是斜倚熏籠,坐待至天明,終成泡影。全詩語言明快自然,感情真摯而多層次,細(xì)膩地刻劃了失寵宮女千回百轉(zhuǎn)的心理狀態(tài)。
《后宮詞》 白居易
淚濕羅巾夢不成,夜深前殿按歌聲。
紅顏未老恩先斷,斜倚熏籠坐到明。
A Court Lady in Disfavor
Bai Juyi
Silk kerchief wet with tears, she cannot sleep in dream;
Late from front hall, with beats of drums songs flow like streams.
No longer favored though she is still young at age,
Till dawn she leans against the incense burner's cage.
