李白 故人西辭黃鶴樓,煙花三月下揚州。My old friend's journeying east of Yellow Crane Tower, Downstream to Yangzhou amid misty April flowers.


【送孟浩然之廣陵】    李白       
 

故人西辭黃鶴樓,    煙花三月下揚州。
 

孤帆遠影碧空盡,    惟見長江天際流。
 


Bidding Meng Haoran Adieu, leaving for Guangling (Yangzhou)                    
-- by LI BAI (701-762)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

My old friend's journeying east of Yellow Crane Tower,    
Downstream to Yangzhou amid misty April flowers.
Lone sail disappears down the edge of the azure sky;
Still, toward the horizon the Yangtze is rolling by.
