《鹊踏枝·花外寒鸡》是唐代词人冯延巳创作的一首词。冯延巳是五代十国时期著名词人、宰相。仕于南唐烈祖、中主二朝，三度拜相，官终太子太傅，卒谥忠肃。他的词多写闲情逸致，文人的气息很浓，对北宋初期的词人有比较大的影响。宋初《钓矶立谈》评其“学问渊博，文章颖发，辩说纵横”，有词集《阳春集》传世。

冯延巳·《鹊踏枝·花外寒鸡》

花外寒鸡天欲曙，

香印成灰，

起坐浑无绪。

檐际高桐凝宿雾，

卷帘双鹊惊飞去。

屏上罗衣闲绣缕，

一晌关情，

忆遍江南路。

夜夜梦魂休谩语，

已知前事无寻处。

To "Ch'üeh T'a Chih" (IV)

Feng Yen-ssu

Beyond the blossoms, cold cockcrow, the day about to dawn:

Incense cakes have turned to ashes;

Up or at rest, I am utterly distracted.

Tall phoenix trees at the edge of the eaves transfix the overnight fog;

I roll up the blinds and a pair of magpies flies away in alarm.

Draped over a screen, a gossamer gown, idle embroidered strands;

Just for a moment my heart is full,

As I remember all the roads of the sunny south.

Night after night my dreaming soul gives up its empty fantasies,

For now I know that nowhere can the bygone past be sought.
