徐灿·《青玉案·吊古》
伤心误到芜城路。
携血泪、
无挥处。
半月模糊霜几树。
紫箫低远，
翠翘明灭，
隐隐羊车度。
鲸波碧浸横江锁，
故垒萧萧芦荻浦。
烟水不知人事错。
戈船千里，
降帆一片，
莫怨莲花步。
Qingyuan:
Mourning Antiquity
Xu Can
Heartbroken, by mistake I took the road to Desolate City;
Ive brought my blood and tears,
But theres nowhere to shed them.
The half-moon looks blurred, frost covers a few trees:
Once purple flutes sounded low and far,
Kingfisher ornaments shone bright and dim,
And goat-carriages passed indistinctly by.
Towering blue waves have buried the chains across the river;
Old ramparts lie forlorn by the reed shore.
Mist and water know not the flaws of human affairs:
A thousand miles of warships,
A stretch of sails pulled low in surrender
Dont blame them on womens lotus steps!
