Praise-Worthy Scenery of River and Sky at Sunset: No. 2
江 天 暮 景 有 叹
一 鹭 南 飞 道 偶 然
忽 然 百 百 复 千 千。
江 淮 总 属 天 家 管
不 肯 营 巢 问 北 边。
Jiang Tian Mu Jing You Tan
Yi lu nan fei dao ou ran
Hu ran bai bai fan qian qian.
Jiang huai zong zhu tian jia guan
Bu ken ying chao wen bei bian.
Praise-Worthy Scenery of River and Sky at Sunset: No. 2
By chance a single egret on a flight path going south
Suddenly hundreds and thousands of others on the move.
The Song side of the river still protected by our heaven-inspired leader
Birds not willing to make their nests north of this boundary.
