秋思赠远二首

王涯

（其二）

厌攀杨柳临清阁，

闲采芙蕖^[1]傍碧潭。

走马台^[2]边人不见，

拂云堆^[3]畔战初酣。

注释：

[1] 芙蕖（fú qú）：荷花，又称莲花、芙蓉。

[2] 走马台：走马章台，又称章台。汉代长安章台下有街名走马章台街，《汉书·张敞传》：“然敞无威仪，时罢朝会，过走马章台街，使御史驱，自以便面拊马。又为妇画眉，长安中传张京兆眉抚。”

[3] 拂云堆：地名，在朔方，本诗中代指征战之地。

（Ⅱ）

When tired of breaking willow branch before my bower,

I pluck at leisure by poolside the lotus flower.

I cannot find your face when I ride on my horse,

But hear the cloud echo war cries of combat force.

The poet in garrison on the frontier longs for his wife far away at home.
