憑欄人            (元)  喬吉(1280-1345)

金陵道中

瘦馬馱詩天一涯
倦鳥呼愁村數家
撲頭飛柳花
與人添鬓華

On My Way to Jinling        Qiao Ji   (1280-1345)

Tune: By the Railing              江紹倫譯

Lugging this load of poetry far I have strayed
Weary birds are wailing with me on my way
How willows shed their catkins to freely fly
As if to help my head’s grey shine
