Lane of the Black Robes
By the Vermilion Bridge, wild flowers bloom among the grass,
At the entrance to Black Clothes Lane, the setting sun slants low.
The swallows that once nested in the halls of the Wang and Xie families
Now fly into the homes of ordinary folk.
烏衣巷
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。
