Love
After Parting
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Love
Thy chariot and horses have gone, and I fret
And long for the lover
I ne'er can forget.
O wanderer, bound in far countries to dwell,
Would I were thy shadow! —
I'd follow thee well.
And though clouds and though darkness my presence should hide,
In the bright light of day
I would stand by thy side!
