七言絕句 李商隱 寄令狐郎中

嵩雲秦樹久離居, 雙鯉迢迢一紙筆。
休問梁園舊賓客, 茂陵秋雨病相如。

Li Shangyin A MESSAGE TO SECRETARY LINGHU

I am far from the clouds of Sung Mountain, a long way from trees in Qin;
And I send to you a message carried by two carp:
-- Absent this autumn from the Prince's garden,
There's a poet at Maoling sick in the rain.
