星斗稀，钟鼓歇，帘外晓莺残月。兰露重，柳风斜，满庭堆落花。
虚阁上，倚阑望，还似去年惆怅。春欲暮，思无穷，旧欢如梦中。
此词写女主人公晨起之后，登阁HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/wangyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>望远HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/sinian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思念心上人的HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅思绪。前三句从视听的感觉描写清晨景象。天刚晓时许多星星都隐没了，天空只剩下少数星星，故觉“星斗稀”。“钟鼓歇”是说清晓报时警夜的钟鼓声已经停歇。首二句从高远处写起，“帘外”句落到近处。用星斗、钟鼓、晓莺、残月等一HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xilie/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>系列表示HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/shijian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>时间的意象，点明HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/shijian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>时间是在清晓，在HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/jingwu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>景物描写中已暗含HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/renwu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人物。次三句继续描HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xiejing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>写景物，写露重HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/feng/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>风斜、落HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花满院，显已为HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/muchun/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>暮春时节。不仅感到其中有人，而且隐约似见其有活动，从室内移步至庭院。上片名为HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xiejing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>写景，则已见情。主人公由室内转向庭院，满目萧索之景，满耳HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/qiqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>凄清之音。则其所感自不待言。作者抓住HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/muchun/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>暮春与黎明的特点布景，展示出清冷凋零的画面，烘托出HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/guji/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>孤寂HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅的气氛。这里虽然人未露面，景象中却已透出主人公的HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/yuanqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>怨情HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouxu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>愁绪。尤其画面中的“残月”、“落HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花”，蕴含人的HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/qingsi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>情思更明显。
下片着重写主人公的活动HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xinqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>心情。头三句写主人公HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/denggao/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>登高HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/wangyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>望远，引起的无限HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅之情。“虚”字既表物象，也表HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/renqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>人情。虚的感觉因空空无人产生，从实境的空虚导致HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xinqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>心情的空虚。“倚阑望”是下阕的关节，一切内心活动俱由此句的“望”引出。“还似去年”四字可见其HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅时日之长。次三句点明HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅之因，是HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅之际的深入HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/sisuo/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思索，表现主人公的活动HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xinqing/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>心情。说HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/chouchang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>惆怅“还似去年”，道旧欢“如梦中”，不仅写出主人公HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/denggao/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>登高HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/wangyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>望远的一时心境，而且HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/jieshi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>揭示出主人公HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/xiangsi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>相思的苦况，HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/guiyuan/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>闺怨的深沉由来已久。“春欲暮”暗示HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/qingchun/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>青春已逝，HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/moiren/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>美人迟暮的忧惧，“思无穷”则见其所欢仍然是遥不可及。因此结句点明旧日的欢乐如今只有在梦中追寻了。末句语调似甚轻淡，而表情极为深刻。“旧欢”是“思”的中心，两性欢爱是深闭闺中HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/funu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>妇女的至愿，尤其是芳春HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/hua/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>花前HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/yuexia/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>月下的亲昵。而今芳时一再虚度，旧日欢乐益令人HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/zhuisi/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>追思不置。HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/guowang/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>过往之事，恍如梦逝，可思而不可即，而HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/sinian/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思念的迷惘之状，于此句则表现得淋漓尽致。
此词意蕴丰富，既可作HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/sifu/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>思妇念人之看。亦可作人臣失位之想。全词语淡情浓，把主人公的HRef=https://www.xuegushici.com/list/huairen/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>怀人之情写得千转百回，缠绵不尽。这在温词中也可谓别具一格。
