《诉衷情·夜寒茅店不成眠》是宋金时期词人吴激创作的一首词，这首词写久别将归的迫切与喜悦心情。词的开篇即写思乡心切，夜不成眠，于是黎明时分便踏着月光匆匆上路。临渡时，空中又飘起了细雨，仿佛也打湿了那颗归家的心。过片写舟中所见。词人置身于熟悉而又陌生的故乡环境，思绪因为激动而摇荡飘忽，一会儿忆起当年离家的行程，一会儿又设想归家后的情景。末二句极富生活情趣，其中既有归家的喜悦，也有久客伤老的悲怆。 此词填得清美韶秀，意象鲜明，一字一韵，手到拿来皆能表达归情。

吴激·《诉衷情》

夜寒茅店不成眠，

残月照吟鞭。

黄花细雨时候，

催上渡头船。

鸥似雪，

水如天。

忆当年。

到家应是，

童稚牵衣，

笑我华颠。

Wu Ji

On a cold night, no sleep comes to a village inn;

The whip glows in the waning moon as I ride and sing.

A drizzle sprinkles the yellow flowers and my coat;

In a hurry, I board a ferry boat.

Gulls are white as snow,

Water is sky blue—

Same as years ago.

When travel I have done,

The kids will sure tug my clothes and run,

And laugh at my hoary hair in great fun.1

1. Hoary hair is symbolic of the old. He Zhizhang, poet of the early Tang Dynasty, ever wrote the poem On Home Coming: I returned home old while left still a lad, local accent is unchanged, hoary hair I had. Kids I meet on the way regard me a stranger, ask politely, “Where are you from, dear sir?"
