臨江仙·離果州作是陸游四十八歲時(shí),撤去夔州通判的職務(wù),到四川宣撫使王炎幕下任干辦公事兼撿法官。那年正月,從夔州赴宣撫使司所在地興元(今陜西省漢中市),二月途經(jīng)果州(今四川省南充市)而寫下了此首詞。
《臨江仙·離果州作》 陸游
鳩雨催成新綠,燕泥收盡殘紅。春光還與美人同:論心空眷眷,分袂卻匆匆。
只道真情易寫,那知怨句難工。水流云散各西東。半廊花院月,一帽柳橋風(fēng)。
Riverside Daffodils
Leaving Guozhou
Lu You
The drizzling rain hastens grass to green the place;
Swallows peck clods blended with fallen red.
Spring is as beautiful as a rosy face;
With a lingering heart
She's unwilling to part.
I thought true feeling easy to paint;
But know not it's hard to voice a complaint.
Water flows east or west and clouds wide spread,
Flowers in the yard steeped in moonlight,
On willowy bridge my hat is filled with breeze light.
