Your face still fair as peach flower, Your downcast brows like leaves of willow. Half shy, half glad, You’d go away but stop to stay. Awake from the dream, I felt sad, A grief not to alley.

小编导读：《女冠子二首》是唐末词人韦庄的组词作品。本首词上片追忆“去年今日”与情人临别时的情事，下片写自从别后的相思苦况。 《女冠子·昨夜夜半》 韦庄 四月十七， 正是去年今日， 别君时。 忍泪佯低面， 含羞半敛眉。 不知魂已断， 空有梦相随。 除却天边月， 没人知。 Song of a Lady’s Crown Wei Zhuang ‘Twas the 17th day of the 4th moon, It is today, just a year ago. At parting, I stooped low on pretence. I mustn’t be seen with tears aflow. Abashed, I half-puckered up my brows. Unaware: I was stricken, aswoon. I was to follow you in my dream: Who knows such but the horizon moon?

In that young fellow in yonder path— More than romance and love, I have read. If I could just be married to him, My destiny would be for e’er set. Granted: he might at last forsake me. I’d have nothing whate’er to regret.

《台城》是唐代韦庄的作品，这首诗借景寄慨，语言含蓄蕴藉，流露出浓重的对时事的感伤情绪。诗人身处晚唐，此时的唐王朝全面走向衰落，昔日的繁华已荡然无存，如梦一场，取而代之的是兵荒马乱民不聊生。诗人凭吊台城古迹，回顾六朝旧事，今之视昔如来者视今，六朝的先盛后衰的命运使诗人联想到唐王朝，怀古伤今。 《台城》 韦庄 江雨霏霏江草齐，六朝如梦鸟空啼。 无情最是台城柳，依旧烟笼十里堤。 A Jinling Scene Wei Zhuang In River’s south it drizzles and grass grows high; Six dynasties are gone like dreams but birds still cry. The most unfeeling is Jinling Town’s willow tree. Still growing misty by three miles banks in glee.
