《花鳥情事：民謠裡的浪漫詩人》｜第十一籤：山巒與清泉
花鳥情事：民謠裡的浪漫詩人
介紹
當詩詞與曲調相融，文字離開紙頁，隨聲音在空氣中震盪，成為可被聽見的情感與意象。
民謠常見的曲調有數種——如〈思雙枝〉、〈楓港調〉、〈四季春〉、〈牛母伴〉、〈五孔小調〉、〈平埔調〉、〈守牛調〉等。傳唱者依詩詞的情緒、主題與自身經驗靈活選調，使每首詩都映照出獨特的生命側影。
本詩以山水意象交織人情，首二句以山巒與清泉為喻，展現情感的起伏與心境的流動，含蓄中帶有一種「欲語還休」的克制與深意。後二句則情感漸趨明朗，以共飲山泉象徵心靈契合、彼此相通的渴望，語氣溫柔而真摯。
此詩常與第十四籤對唱成對，前者為男子向女子吐露情意，以山泉為媒，言「同飲一水，如同一心」；後者則為女子以魚作喻婉拒，說「好魚不吃自動送上的餌」，寧可在溪邊食青苔，既含保守矜持之意，也流露出對情感的真誠與自持，構成一場微妙而動人的情感對話。
This poem intertwines the imagery of mountains and water with human emotion. The first two lines use mountain peaks and clear springs as metaphors, reflecting the rise and flow of feeling — a restraint that holds deep affection within its silence. In the latter half, emotion becomes clearer and gentler: the act of sharing a mountain spring symbolizes a longing for spiritual connection and mutual understanding.
This poem is often sung as a paired dialogue with Poem No. 14. In the first, the man confesses his affection to the woman, using the spring as a metaphor — “to drink from the same water is to share one heart.” In response, the woman replies with a metaphor of fish: “A good fish never takes the bait offered freely.” She would rather eat moss by the stream, expressing modesty and self-respect. Together, the two form a delicate and moving conversation of love — one that reveals sincerity, restraint, and emotional balance.
