暮鼓朝钟自击撞,
闭门孤枕对残釭 ② 。
白灰旋拨通红火,
卧听萧萧雪打窗。
①双竹:即杭州的广严寺。②釭:灯,一作“缸”。
You beat your evening drum and ring your morning bell,
Doors closed, a pillow facing a lamp, you rest well.
After poking among gray ashes embers red,
You hear snow-flakes fall shower by shower while abed.
本诗抒写苏轼夜宿寺院的心境。全诗承转清晰,相生相悖,从表面的羡佛中透露出痛苦矛盾而又迷茫无依的复杂心绪。
