七言律詩 杜甫 詠懷古跡五首之二

搖落深知宋玉悲, 風流儒雅亦吾師。
悵望千秋一灑淚, 蕭條異代不同時。
江山故宅空文藻, 雲雨荒臺豈夢思。
最是楚宮俱泯滅, 舟人指點到今疑。

Du Fu POETIC THOUGHTS ON ANCIENT SITES II

"Decay and decline": deep knowledge have I of Sung Yu's grief.
Romantic and refined, he too is my teacher.
Sadly looking across a thousand autumns, one shower of tears,
Melancholy in different epochs, not at the same time.
Among rivers and mountains his old abode--empty his writings;
Deserted terrace of cloud and rain--surely not just imagined in a dream?
Utterly the palaces of Chu are all destroyed and ruined,
The fishermen pointing them out today are unsure.
