《忆仙姿·莲叶初生南浦》是北宋贺铸所作，是一首描写思妇盼人归的小令，描写了九月入秋时，南浦岸边的景色及送别的场景，含蓄而形象地表达出了思妇的相思之情。全词虽无一字提到离别相思，却将离别相思之情写得淋漓尽致。全词以景衬情，寓情于景，可谓词短情长的佳例。

《忆仙姿·莲叶初生南浦》 贺铸

莲叶初生南浦，
两岸绿杨飞絮。
向晚鲤鱼风，
断送彩帆何处？
凝伫，
凝伫，
楼外一江烟雨。

Fairy Beauty Recalled
He Zhu

Young lotus leaves in Southern Pool begin to sprout;
Green willow down on both the shores flies all about.
Towards evening wet summer breeze blows;
Who knows where my lord’s painted ship goes?
I stand there still
And gaze my fill
Beyond my bower mist veils hill on hill,
And rill on rill.
