跳躍深池四五秋,常搖朱尾弄綸鉤。
無(wú)端擺斷芙蓉朵,不得清波更一游。
A Fish Separated from Its Pool
Xue Tao
In the lotus pond for four or five years
it has leapt playfully,
Always waving its crimson tail,
it sports with fishing lines.
By accident it bumped and broke
a blossom of the lotus,
Now no more can it swim about
through the clear waves.
