The full content of the poem "Ode to the Tide" is as follows:
The roar of anger burst into Haimen, and the people of the state said it was the soul of Zixu.
Thousands of thunders shook the clouds in the sky, and thousands of horses galloped into the silver mountains.

What happened when Wu fell and Yue became dominant? Singing fishing songs across distant villages.
