From a Mooring on the T'ung-lu to a Friend in Yang-chou
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
With monkeys whimpering on the shadowy mountain,
And the river rushing through the night,
And a wind in the leaves along both banks,
And the moon athwart my solitary sail,
I, a stranger in this inland district,
Homesick for my Yang-chou friends,
Send eastward two long streams of tears
To find the nearest touch of the sea.
