劉長卿
秋日登吳公臺上寺遠眺
古臺搖落後， 秋日望鄉心。
野寺人來少， 雲峰水隔深。
夕陽依舊壘， 寒磬滿空林。
惆悵南朝事， 長江獨至今。
Five-character-regular-verse

CLIMBING IN AUTUMN FOR A VIEW FROM THE TEMPLE
ON THE TERRACE OF GENERAL WU
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 remains?
Nothing but the great River.
