BIDDING A FRIEND FAREWELL
AT CHING-MÊN FERRY

Sailing far off from Ching-mên Ferry,Soon you will be with people in the south,Where the mountains end and the plains beginAnd the river winds through wilderness. . . .The moon is lifted like a mirror,Sea-clouds gleam like palaces,And the water has brought you a touch of homeTo draw your boat three hundred miles.
