1st of Ginling Quinque
Stone City
Middle Tang Dynasty Liu Yuxi
Translated by Hytower

The surroundings remain with mountains around the former state
Beating the empty city, the tides recede desolate
To the east of Qinhuai River, the moon of yore
In the depth of night, crosses again the parapet

金陵五題之一
石頭城
中唐 劉禹錫

山圍故國周遭在，潮打空城寂寞回。
淮水東邊舊時月，夜深還過女牆來。
