Seeing Meng Haoran off at Yellow Crane Tower

Seeing Meng Haoran Off at Yellow Crane Tower

by Li Bai

translated by Xu Yuanchong

My friend has left the west where the Yellow Crane towers For River Town green with willows and red with flowers.

His lessening sail is lost in the boundless blue sky, Where I see but the endless River rolling by.

黄鹤楼送孟浩然之广陵

[唐]李白

故人西辞黄鹤楼，烟花三月下扬州。

孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流。
