The Jade Mountain/A Farewell to Mêng Hao-jan on His Way to Yang-chou
A FAREWELL TO MÊNG HAO-JAN
ON HIS WAY TO YANG-CHOU
ON HIS WAY TO YANG-CHOU
You have left me behind, old friend, at the Yellow Crane Terrace,On your way to visit Yang-chou in the misty month of flowers;Your sail, a single shadow, becomes one with the blue sky,Till now I see only the river, on its way to heaven.
(28, 28a)
