《桂枝香·金陵懷古》 王安石

登臨送目，正故國晚秋，天氣初肅。千里澄江似練，翠峰如簇。征帆去棹殘陽里，背西風(fēng)、酒旗斜矗。采舟云淡，星河鷺起，畫圖難足。

念往昔、繁華競逐，嘆門外樓頭，悲恨相續(xù)。千古憑高對此，漫嗟榮辱。六朝舊事隨流水，但寒煙芳草凝綠。至今商女，時(shí)時(shí)猶唱，后庭遺曲。

Fragrance of Laurel Branch

I climb the height
And stretch my sight:
Late autumn just begins its gloomy time.
The ancient capital looks sublime.
The limpid river, beltlike, flows a thousand miles;
Emerald peaks on peaks tower in piles.
In the declining sun sails come and go;
Against west wind wineshop steamers flutter high and low.
The painted boat
In cloud afloat,
Like stars in Silver River egrets fly.
What a picture before the eye!

The days gone by
Saw people in opulence vie.
Alas! Shame on shame came under the walls,
In palace halls.
Leaning on rails, in vain I utter sighs
Over ancient kingdoms’ fall and rise.
The running water saw the Six Dynasties pass,
But I see only chilly mist and withered grass.
Even now and again
The songstresses still sing
The song composed in vain
By a captive king.
