BLACKTAIL ROW
---Liu Yuxi
Grass has run wild now by the Bridge of Red-Birds;
And swallows\' wings, at sunset, in Blacktail Row

七言绝句 乌衣巷
---刘禹锡
朱雀桥边野草花， 乌衣巷口夕阳斜。
旧时王谢堂前燕， 飞入寻常百姓家。

the Still of the Night

Guan-guan go the ospreys ,
On the islet in the river .
The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
For our prince a good mate she .
Here long , there short , is the duckweed ,

The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
Waking and sleeping , he sought her .
He sought her and found her not ,
And waking and sleeping he thought about her .
Long he thought ; oh ! long and anxiously ;
On his side , on his back , he turned , and back again .
