刘禹锡Tang dynastyseven-character quatrain
SOURCE TEXT · 中文原文
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。
English translation

Blackrobe Lane

By Vermilion Bird Bridge, wild grasses are in flower;
at the mouth of Blackrobe Lane the evening sun slants.
The swallows that once nested before the halls of Wang and Xie
now fly into the houses of ordinary people.
