《白蓮》是唐代詩人陸龜蒙創(chuàng)作的一首七絕。這首詩描寫白蓮花含著怨恨在人們不知不覺中謝落,暗喻潔身自好的人,在黑暗的封建社會里,總是受到冷落和排擠,只能默默無聞的被埋沒掉,表現了封建時代知識分子的孤芳自賞、懷才不遇的心理。
《白蓮》 陸龜蒙
素蘤多蒙別艷欺,此花端合在瑤池。
無情有恨何人覺,月曉風清欲墮時。

Lu Guimeng
Her spotless bloom oppressed by those more gaudy,
She should grow only in the Pond of Precious Jade 1.
None know that though insentient she suffers,
Fading with the moon in dawn's faint breeze.
1. Pond of Precious Jade: A legendary fairy pond where the Mother Goddess of the Western Mountains lived.
