Gone
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Relationships
At the Yellow-Crane pagoda, where we stopped to bid adieu,
The mists and flowers of April seemed to wish good speed to you.
At the Emerald Isle, your lessening sail had vanished from my eye.
And left me with the River, rolling onward to the sky.
