Gazing for Jiangnan (望江南) by Wen Tingyun (温庭筠)

Finished washing up, I lean alone against Waterwatch Tower.
The passing thousand sails are nothing of what I want, the tilted sunlight looking affectionately upon the slow waters.
My heart breaks by the white flowers of shore.

Original Text
梳洗罢,独倚望江楼。过尽千帆皆不是,斜晖脉脉水悠悠。肠断白蘋洲。
