近寒食雨草萋萋，著麦苗风柳映堤。
现代汉语译文
临近寒食节，细雨洒在茂盛的春草上；风吹拂着麦苗，柳树的影子映在堤岸上。
“寒食”是清明前一二日的节令，旧时禁火冷食，时在暮春。“萋萋”形容草长得茂盛。“著”有附着、吹到的意思，“著麦苗风”即风吹拂麦苗。两句写暮春田野景物：草盛、雨细、麦青、柳映长堤，正是游子思归的时节。异文：Gutenberg 底本与维基文库作“尽寒食雨”，chinese-poetry 数据集及通行选本多作“近寒食雨”，本站从读者常见作“近”。
正文
等是有家归未得，杜鹃休向耳边啼。
现代汉语译文
同样是空有家却回不去，杜鹃啊，你不要再在我耳边啼叫了。
“等是”意为同样是、都一样（旧注或解作“为何”）。“有家归未得”写有家难归，含漂泊或乱离之痛。“杜鹃”相传为蜀帝杜宇魂魄所化，啼声凄切，古人听其声如“不如归去”，最易触动思乡之情。“休向耳边啼”是央求，也是不堪再听。异文：Gutenberg 底本与维基文库作“等是有家”，chinese-poetry 数据集作“早是有家”，本站从读者常见作“等是”。
赏析 · Commentary
暮春景色逼出游子 · Late-Spring Scenes Press the Wanderer
前两句全是好景：草、雨、麦、柳，都是春天该有的样子；可越是这般生机，越衬出无家可归的凄凉。诗人不先写愁，而是先把节令写足，愁绪便从景里自己长出来。
The opening couplet is all pleasant scenery: grass, rain, wheat, willows—just what spring should look like; yet the more alive it is, the more it sets off the bleakness of having no home to return to. The poet does not name sorrow first; he fills out the season, and the sorrow grows out of the scene itself.
求杜鹃别再啼 · A Plea to the Cuckoo
杜鹃的叫声像“不如归去”，可诗人偏偏回不去。所以他不是请杜鹃别叫，而是请它别在自己耳边叫——同样的话，别人听了或许只是节令，他听了却是催归。结句是软语相求，却比放声痛哭更沉痛。
The cuckoo's cry sounds like go home, go home, yet the poet cannot go home. So he is not asking the cuckoo to stop; he asks it not to cry beside his own ear—the same sound others might hear as mere season, he hears as an urging to return. The closing line is a soft plea, and heavier than an open wail.
