《秦風·蒹葭》是周代著名文學作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。此詩曾被認為是用來譏刺秦襄公不能用周禮來鞏固他的國家,或惋惜招引隱居的賢士而不可得;現(xiàn)在一般認為這是一首情歌,寫追求所愛而不及的惆悵與苦悶。
《詩經(jīng)--國風·秦風·蒹葭》
蒹葭蒼蒼,白露為霜。
所謂伊人,在水一方,
溯洄從之,道阻且長。
溯游從之,宛在水中央。
蒹葭凄凄,白露未晞。
所謂伊人,在水之湄。
溯洄從之,道阻且躋。
溯游從之,宛在水中坻。
蒹葭采采,白露未已。
所謂伊人,在水之涘。
溯洄從之,道阻且右。
溯游從之,宛在水中沚。
The Reed
Green, green the reed,
Dew and frost gleam.
Where's she I need?
Beyond the stream.
Upstream I go,
The way is long.
Downstream I go,
She's thereamong.
White, white the reed,
Dew not yet dried.
Where's she I need?
On the other side.
Upstream I go,
Hard is the way.
Downstream I go,
She's far away.
Bright, bright the reed,
Dew and frost blend.
Where's she I need?
At river's end.
Upstream I go,
The way does wind.
Downstream I go,
She's far behind.
