译文：尊敬的孔老夫子，你一生劳碌奔波，周游列国，究竟想要做成什么呢?

如今这地方还是鄹县的城邑，你终被安葬在了出生的土地，然而你的旧宅曾被后人毁坏，改建为鲁王宫。

在你生活的当时，凤鸟不至，你叹息命运不好；麒麟出现，你又忧伤哀怨，感叹世乱道穷。

你一生不如意，看今日你端坐在堂前两楹间，接受后人的顶礼祭奠，正如同你生前梦境中所见的一样，想必你也该稍感慰藉了吧。

此诗嗟叹了孔子复杂坎坷、栖遑不遇的一生，对孔子生前的际遇深表同情，对他寄予了深深的悼念。

诗中连用数典，比较集中地概括了孔子心怀壮志而始终不得志的一生，表现了对孔子的尊崇，是中国封建社会中尊儒思想的反映。

全诗命意严正，构思精巧，语言朴实，风格沉郁。

唐玄宗 经鲁祭孔子而叹之　夫子何为者？

栖栖一代中。

地犹鄹氏邑，宅即鲁王宫。

叹凤嗟身否，伤麟怨道穷！

今看两楹奠，当与梦时同。

Sacrificing to Confucius and Mourning Him When Passing Through LuEmperor XuanzongFor what did you so busily strive, my Sage,Expounding hard your doctrine in your age?

This is the shire called Lu in bygone days;A palace in this house Duke Lu did raise.

The absence of the Phoenix made you sad,And you complained aloud your luck was bad.

The Unicorn's death found you in a heavy state;You did the failure of your teaching berate.

As people poured libations in a stream,I'm sure it must be like your former dream.
