Green 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;
Our steeds still neigh,“Adieu, adieu!“
青山横北郭,白水绕东城。
此地一为别,孤蓬万里征。
浮云游子意,落日故人情。
挥手自兹去,萧萧班马鸣。
——《送友人》李白(许渊冲译)
