霜天晓角——南宋·高观国

霜天晓角

南宋·高观国

春云粉色。春水和云湿。试问西湖杨柳，东风外、几丝碧。

望极。连翠陌。兰桡双桨急。欲访莫愁何处，旗亭在、画桥侧。

赏：高观国著有《竹屋痴语》一卷，其词作讲究琢句炼字，特立清新。他受到姜夔词风的影响，体制高雅，格律不侔，句法挺异。此词写西湖美景，粉色春云，西湖杨柳，翠陌望极，不同于前人荷花桂子的意象。他善于创造名句警语，词中“试问西湖杨柳，东风外、几丝碧”便是一例。如“望极。连翠陌。”这种二字、三字断句的体制宋词中并不多见，高竹屋的词多有这种格律不侔的个性表达。

To the Tune of a Horn on a Frosty Morning -- Pastel-colored Spring Clouds

By Gao Guoguan (Southern Song Dynasty)

Reflections of pastel-colored spring clouds

float on vernal water.  

I ask the willows by West Lake:

after an easterly breeze

how many more green threads will dangle?

In the distance 

a green embankment stretches.  

My oars propel the boat faster.  

Where does Lady Mochou reside?

In that pennanted tavern

by the painted bridge.
