Parting At A Wine-Shop In Nan-King Poem by Li Po

Parting At A Wine-Shop In Nan-King

Rating: 3.0


A wind, bringing willow-cotton, sweetens the shop,
And a girl from Wu, pouring wine, urges me to share it.
With my comrades of the city who are here to see me off;
And as each of them drains his cup, I say to him in parting,
Oh, go and ask this river running to the east
If it can travel farther than a friend's love!

....very nice, even though translating with same beauty and meaning can be difficult ★
