秋日登吴公台上寺远眺

刘长卿

古台摇落后， 秋日望乡心。

野寺人来少， 云峰水隔深。

夕阳依旧垒， 寒磬满空林。

惆怅南朝事， 长江独至今。

CLIMBING IN AUTUMN FOR A VIEW FROM THE TEMPLE

ON THE TERRACE OF GENERAL WU

Liu Changqing

So autumn breaks my homesick heart....

Few pilgrims venture climbing to a temple so wild,

Up from the lake, in the mountain clouds.

...Sunset clings in the old defences,

A stone gong shivers through the empty woods.

...Of the Southern Dynasty, what remains¹?

Nothing but the great River.
