《登金陵凤凰台》- 李白

凤凰台上凤凰游，凤去台空江自流。
吴宫花草埋幽径，晋代衣冠成古丘。
三山半落青天外，二水中分白鹭洲。
总为浮云能蔽日，长安不见使人愁。

Upon Phoenix Terrace at Jinling by Li Bai

Phoenix Terrace once phoenixes roamed to and fro,

The birds gone, the terrace bare, the waters still flow.

O’ergrown weeds bury old footpaths and halls of Wu,

Lords in noble hats and robes of Jin lie below.

Three mountains half-hidden amidst the azure skies,

Two rivers split White Egret Isle as forth they throw.

For none but frivolous clouds float to blind the sun,

Alas, Chang’an beyond me, how bitter my woe.

Tr. Ziyuzile
