(107) Passing By Jinling On The 3rd Day Of The 3rd Moon
上巳将过金陵
Gong Ding-zi (1615-1673)
龚鼎孳
Spring grief wafts on the stream with conquered kingdom's song;
倚槛春愁玉树飘，
No chains could bar the foe from sailing River Long.
空江铁索野烟销。
Indulged in pleasure, kings were captured in their hall;
兴怀何限兰亭感。
Green hills and streams have seen dynasties rise and fall.
流水青山送六朝。
