《闻李端公垂钓回寄赠》是唐代女诗人鱼玄机的作品。此诗前二句写女主人公担心夏天在荷塘垂钓的李端公回不了家;后二句写希望自己是鸳鸯,可以在垂钓处与李端公相陪伴。全诗情感表白大胆,充分体现了鱼玄机浪漫豪放的诗风。
鱼玄机·《闻李端公垂钓回寄赠》
无限荷香染暑衣,阮郎何处弄船归。
自惭不及鸳鸯侣,犹得双双近钓矶。
Hearing a Friend Has Returned from a Fishing Trip
Yu Xuanji
An endless stretch of lotuses—
their scent perfumes
my summer dress;
where have you been, my friend,
where have you sailed your boat?
I only regret I cannot be
one of the Mandarin ducks;
at least Id be able to sit with you
by the shore where you cast your line.
