江南曲

嫁得瞿塘贾2，朝朝误妾期3​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​。早知潮有信4，嫁与弄潮儿5​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​。

题解

此诗写商人妇的怨情，并表达她对爱情生活的热烈向往，饶有民歌风味​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍​​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​。

评析

“商人重利轻别离”，故虽有期约，屡屡延误。商妇盼夫不至，而江潮已几度涨落，故怨极而作此痴想。这真可以说是无理而妙。全诗的联想，纯从一“信”字着眼。俞陛云《诗境浅说续编》评曰：“潮来有信而郎去不归，喻巧而怨深。古乐府之借物见意者甚多，皆喻曲而有致，此诗其嗣响也。”
