Liu Yuxi's Into The Commoners' Homes You've All Flown (-Now Dispossessed) !劉禹錫 舊時王謝堂前燕

WU YI XIANG: "THE BLACK GOWN LANE"
-LIU YUXI (772-842)
-Translated by Frank C Yue

By the Red Bird Bridge, luxuriant the wild grass and flowers;
Black Gown Lane entrance stained by the setting Sun at this hour.
O Swallows, in the great halls of the lords you used to nest,
Into the commoners' homes you've all flown (- now dispossessed) !

【烏衣巷】 唐‧劉禹鍚

朱雀橋邊野草花,
烏衣巷口夕陽斜。
舊時王謝堂前燕,
飛入尋常百姓家。
