Autumn Climbing of Wugong Terrace Temple for a Distant View
Ancient Terrace, fallen into decay,
In autumn day, I gaze homeward.
Few visitors come to this mountain temple,
Cloudy peaks beyond the water, deep and remote.
The lingering sun still rests on old ramparts,
Cold chime of the bell fills the empty woods.
Melancholy thoughts of the Southern Dynasties,
The great river flows on, alone to this day.
秋日登吳公臺上寺遠眺
古臺搖落後，秋日一作「入」望鄉心。
野寺人來少，雲峰水隔一作「隔水」深。
夕陽依舊壘，寒磬滿空林。
惆悵南朝事，長江獨至一作「自」今。
