Taking Leave of a Friend

Written by: Lo Po or Rikhaku trans. Ezra Pound


Blue Mountains to the North of the Walls

White river winding about them
Here we must make separation
And go out through a thousand miles of dead grass
 
Mind like a floating wide cloud,
Sunset like the parting of old acquaintances
Who bow over their clasped hands at a distance,
Our horses neigh to each other as we are departing
