Li Bai The Green Mountains North Of The Suburbs Lie, White Water 'round The East City Flows By 李白 青山橫北郭 白水繞東城 Poem by Frank Yue

"Seeing My Friend Off"
- Li Bai
- Translated by Frank C Yue

The following translation is dedicated to the
loving memory of my late friend, Dr Cheung Sik-hin.

The green mountains north of the suburbs lie,
White water 'round the East City flows by;
Here, once goodbye to each other we say,
For a thousand miles your lone boat will race.

The drifting clouds carry the wanderlust's feeling;
Our friendship is reflected by the Sun setting.
Waving hands, we go on our separate ways,
"Xiaoxiao, " sadly my dappled horse neighs and neighs.


"送友人李白"（唐）

青山橫北郭，白水繞東城。
此地一為別，孤蓬萬里征。
浮雲遊子意，落日故人情。
揮手自茲去，蕭蕭班馬鳴
