《春日醉起言志》是唐代伟大诗人李白的作品。诗中写作者融化在酒的温柔乡，在醉意朦胧中，以新的眼光发现新的天地，躲避在自然与音乐的宁谧之境，用及时行乐的洒脱姿态来化解失意，隐含了作者对丑恶黑暗的社会现实的批判。此诗深受陶渊明诗风的影响，但写得流丽酣畅，保持着李白自己的风格。

《春日醉起言志》 李白

处世若大梦，胡为劳其生。
所以终日醉，颓然卧前楹。
觉来盼庭前，一鸟花间鸣。
借问此何时？春风语流莺。
感之欲叹息，对酒还自倾。
浩歌待明月，曲尽已忘情。

"The Best of Life is But..."

What is life after all but a dream,
And why should such bother be made?
Better far to be tipsy, I deem,
And doze all day long in the shade.
When I wake and look out on the lawn,
I hear midst the flowers a bird sing;
I ask, "Is it evening or dawn?"
The mango-bird whistles, "'Tis spring,"
Over powered with the beautiful sight,
Another full goblet I pour,
And would sing till the moon rises bright—
But soon I'm as drunk as before.
