望江南 溫庭筠

望江南          溫庭筠(812-870)

梳洗罷，獨倚望江樓 ，

過盡千帆皆不是，
斜暉脈脈水悠悠， 腸斷白蘋洲。

Espying River South           Wen Tingjun (812-870)

Having spruced up solitarily I lean on the River Tower,

A thousand sails pass but none is the one I seek after,
Lost in a reverie I gaze amidst the flush of the setting sun affectionately at the gently running water,
Over the seaweed ait my bruised soul hovers.
