烏衣巷 - 劉禹錫

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。

The Black Liveried Lane by Liu Yuxi

By weeds, the Vermilion Bird Bridge is overgrown,

In slanting sun, the Black Liveried Lane stands alone.

In old times, swallows always graced Wang’s and Xie’s Halls,

Now, they can only seek commoners’ eaves unknown.
