登金陵鳳凰臺——李白

登金陵鳳凰臺

李白

鳳凰臺上鳳凰游

鳳去臺空江自流

吳宮花草埋幽徑

晉代衣冠成古丘

三山半落青天外

二水中分白鷺洲

總為浮云能蔽日

長安不見使人愁

On Phoenix Terrace At Jinling

Li Bai

On Phoenix Terrace once phoenixes came to sing;

The birds are gone, but still roll on the river's waves.

The ruined palace's buried 'neath the weeds in spring;

The ancient sages in caps and gowns all lie in graves.

The three-peak'd mountain is half lost in azure sky;

The two-fork'd stream by Egret Isle is kept apart.

As floating clouds can veil the bright sun from the eye,

Imperial Court, now out of sight, saddens my heart.
