如梦令·残柳(一九四二年秋)叶嘉莹冷落清秋时节,枝上晚蝉声咽。瘦影太伶仃,忍向寒塘自瞥。凄绝。凄绝。肠断晓风残月。Weathered WillowTo the Tune of "Dreamy Melody" (Fall, 1942)
Florence Chia-ying Yeh
Desolation deep in autumn –cicadas weep in the tree.Lonesome her slender shadow –braving a peek at herself in the cold pond.Forlorn, O forlorn isheartbreak under the crescent moon in the morning breeze.
