渡远荆门外, 来从楚国游。 山随平野尽, 江入大荒流。 月下飞天镜, 云生结海楼。 仍怜故乡水, 万里送行舟。 Five-character-regular-verse Li Bai BIDDING A FRIEND FAREWELL AT JINGMEN FERRY
Sailing far off from Jingmen Ferry, Soon you will be with people in the south, Where the mountains end and the plains begin And the river winds through wilderness.... The moon is lifted like a mirror, Sea-clouds gleam like palaces, And the water has brought you a touch of home To draw your boat three hundred miles.
