A Farewell at Feng-chi Station
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
This is where your comrade must leave you,
Turning at the foot of these purple mountains. . . .
When shall we lift our cups again, I wonder,
As we did last night and walk in the moon?
The region is murmuring farewell
To one who was honoured through three reigns;
And back I go now to my river-village,
Into the final solitude.
