五言律詩 駱賓王 在獄詠蟬并序

[_]
余禁所禁垣西,是法廳事也。有古槐數株焉,雖生 意可知,同殷仲文之古樹,而聽訟斯在,即周召伯 之甘棠。每至夕照低陰,秋蟬疏引,發聲幽息,有 切嘗聞;豈人心異於曩時,將蟲響悲於前聽?嗟乎 !聲以動容,德以象賢,故潔其身也,稟君子達人 之高行;蛻其皮也,有仙都羽化之靈姿。候時而來 ,順陰陽之數;應節為變,審藏用之機。有目斯開 ,不以道昏而昧其視;有翼自薄,不以俗厚而易其 真。吟喬樹之微風,韻資天縱;飲高秋之墜露,清 畏人知。僕失路艱虞,遭時徽纆,不哀傷而自怨, 未搖落而先衰。聞蟪蛄之流聲,悟平反之已奏;見 螳螂之抱影,怯危機之未安。感而綴詩,貽諸知己 。庶情沿物應,哀弱羽之飄零;道寄人知,憫餘聲 之寂寞。非謂文墨,取代幽憂云爾。
西路蟬聲唱, 南冠客思侵。
那堪玄鬢影, 來對白頭吟。
露重飛難進, 風多響易沉。
無人信高潔, 誰為表予心。

Lo Bingwang A POLITICAL PRISONER LISTENING TO A CICADA

While the year sinks westward, I hear a cicada
Bid me to be resolute here in my cell,
Yet it needed the song of those black wings
To break a white-haired prisoner's heart....
His flight is heavy through the fog,
His pure voice drowns in the windy world.
Who knows if he be singing still? - -
Who listens any more to me?
