Farewell to a Friend
Li Bai
Blue mountains bar the northern sky ;
White water girds the eastern town .
Here is the place to say goodbye ;
You’ll drift like lonely thistledown .
With floating cloud you’ll float away ;
Like parting day I’ll part from you .
You wave your hand and go your way ;
Your steed still neighs “Adieu Adieu” .
