《舟中读元九诗》是唐代诗人白居易的作品。此诗以凄苦为基调，运用了白描的手法，通过“灯残”、“诗尽”、“眼痛”、“暗坐”这些词语所展示的环境、氛围、色彩，表现出对元稹的关切、思念之情。前三句连用“灯”字，创设出“灯前读诗”、“诗尽灯残”、“灭灯暗坐”三个意象，创造了一种黑夜中凄清的环境，思念中凄苦的心情，贬谪中凄凉的人生的意境。

《舟中读元九诗》 白居易

把君诗卷灯前读，诗尽灯残天未明。
眼痛灭灯犹暗坐，逆风吹浪打船声。

Reading Yuan the Ninth's Poems in a Boat
Bai Juyi

Before a lamp I read a whole volume of your poems;
It was not yet dawn when I finished in failing light.
I put out the lamp and sat with sore eyes in the dark;
Adverse wind hurled wave after wave against my boat.
