Who am I? 21

Long ago people called me “Nearby Sea”

compared with the sea far away.

There used to be a magnificent palace along me

by which many poets were so impressed

as to compose poems----

among which there are some famous ones

like “A bird on the evening waves----

your sad singing, brings me back to the old, grand palace.

Now it is ruined and deserted.

Nobody visits it but you, birds.”
