Li Bai: A farewell to a friend

A FAREWELL TO A FRIEND

Li Bai

With a blue line of mountains north of the wall,

And east of the city a white curve of water,

Here you must leave me and drift away

Like a loosened water-plant hundreds of miles….

I shall think of you in a floating cloud;

So in the sunset think of me.

…We wave our hands to say good-bye,

And my horse is neighing again and again. 

送友人

李白

青山横北郭， 白水绕东城。

此地一为别， 孤蓬万里征。

浮云游子意， 落日故人情。

挥手自兹去， 萧萧班马鸣。
