金陵圖 韋莊

金陵圖

江雨霏霏江草齊， 六朝如夢鳥空啼。

無情最是臺城柳， 依舊煙籠十里堤。

Wei Zhuang

A NANJING LANDSCAPE

Though a shower bends the river-grass, a bird is singing,

While ghosts of the Six Dynasties pass like a dream

Around the Forbidden City, under weeping willows

Which loom still for three miles along the misty moat.
