**Jinling Picture**

Who says a heart of grief cannot be painted?

The painter's heart follows the mood of the world.

Behold these six scrolls of the Southern Dynasties—

Old trees and cold clouds filling the ancient town.

**Jinling**

The river rain falls fine, the river grasses grow tall.

The Six Dynasties pass like a dream; birds cry in vain.

Most heartless of all are the willows of Palace Terrace—

Still they veil the ten-mile dike in mist as before.
