Farewell To A Friend
Green mountains bar the northern sky；
White water girds the eastern town。
Here is the place to say good-bye;
You'll drift like lonely thisledown。
With floating cloud you’ll float away;
Like parting day I’ll part from you.
We wave as you start on your way；
Our steeds still neigh， "Adieu， adieu！”

登金陵凤凰台
凤凰台上凤凰游
凤去台空江自流
吴宫花草埋幽径
晋代衣冠成古丘
三山半落青天外
二水中分白鹭洲
总为浮云能蔽日
长安不见使人愁
On Phoenix Terrace At Jinling
On Phoenix Terrace once phoenixes came to sing;
The birds are gone， but still roll on the river’s waves。
The ruined palace’s buried ’neath the weeds in spring;
The ancient sages in caps and gowns all lie in graves.
The three—peak'd mountain is half lost in azure sky;

The ruined palace’s buried ’neath the weeds in spring;
The ancient sages in caps and gowns all lie in graves.
The three—peak'd mountain is half lost in azure sky;
The two—fork'd stream by Egret Isle is kept apart。
As floating clouds can veil the bright sun from the eye，
Imperial Court， now out of sight, saddens my heart。

Farewell To Uncle Yun， The Imperial Librarian， At The Xie Tiao Pavilion In Xuanzhou
What left me yesterday
Can be retained no more；
What worries me today
Are the times for which I feel sore。
In autumn wind for miles and miles the wild geese fly。
Let’s follow them with eyes and drink in tower high。
Your writing’s forcible, like ancient poets， while
Mine is in Junior Xie's direct and easy style.
Both of us have ambitions high;
We’d bring the moon down from the sky。
Cut running water with a sword， it will faster flow;
Drink wine to drown your sorrow， it will heavier grow。
If we despair in our lifetime of all affairs,
Tomorrow let us sail away with loosened hairs。

赠汪伦
李白乘舟将欲行
忽闻岸上踏歌声
桃花潭水深千尺
不及汪伦送我情
To Wang Lun
I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go
When suddenly on shore your farewell songs o'erflow。
However deep the Lake of Peach Blossom may be，
It's not so deep， O Wang Lun! as your love for me.

Leaving White Emperor Town At Dawn
Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud，
I’ve sailed a thousand li through canyons in a day.
With monkeys’ sad adieus the riverbanks are loud；
My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away。
月下独酌
花间一壶酒
独酌无相亲
举杯邀明月
对影成三人
月既不解饮

行乐须及春
我歌月徘徊
我舞影零乱
醒时同交欢
醉后各分散
永结无情游
相期邈云汉
Drinking Alone Under The Moon

Drinking Alone Under The Moon
Among the flowers from a pot of wine
I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine。
I raise my cup to invite the moon, who blends
Her light with my shadow and we're three friends.
The moon does not know how to drink her share；
In vain my shadow follows me here and there。
Together with them for the time I stay
And make merry before spring's spend away。
I sing the moon to linger with my song;
My shadow disperses as I dance along。
Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay；
Drunken, we part and each goes his way.
Our friendship will outshine all earthly love;
Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above。
I drink alone beneath the bright moonshine。
I raise my cup to invite the moon, who blends
Her light with my shadow and we're three friends.
The moon does not know how to drink her share；
In vain my shadow follows me here and there。
Together with them for the time I stay
And make merry before spring's spend away。
I sing the moon to linger with my song;
My shadow disperses as I dance along。
Sober, we three remain cheerful and gay；
Drunken, we part and each goes his way.
Our friendship will outshine all earthly love;
Next time we'll meet beyond the stars above。

Gazing At Mount Tai
O, peak of peaks, how high it stands!
One boundless green o’erspreads two states。
A marvel done by nature’s hands，
O’er light ang shade it dominates.
Clouds rise therefrom and lave my breast;
I strain my eyes and see birds fleet。
I must ascend the mountain's crest；
It dwarfs all peaks under my feet。
安全承诺

秋来相顾尚飘蓬

To Li Bai
When autumn comes， you’re drifting still like thistledown.
You try to find the way to heaven， but you fail。
In singing mad and drinking dead your days you drown.
For whom will fly the roc？ For whom will leap the whale？

Song Of The Conscripts
Chariots rumble
and horses grumble。
The conscripts march with bow and arrows at the waist.
Their fathers， mothers， wives and children come in haste
To see them off； the bridge is shrouded in dust they’ve raised。
They clutch at the men's coats and stamp and bar the way；
Their grief cries loud and strikes the cloud straight, straightaway.
Another onlooker by roadside asks an enrollee，
"The conscription is frequent,” only answers he。
”Some went north at fifteen to guard the rivershore
And were sent west to till the land at forty-four.

Their grief cries loud and strikes the cloud straight, straightaway.
Another onlooker by roadside asks an enrollee，
"The conscription is frequent,” only answers he。
”Some went north at fifteen to guard the rivershore
And were sent west to till the land at forty-four.
The elder bound their young heads when they went away；
Just home， they’re sent to the frontier though their hair's grey。
The field on borderland becomes a sea of blood；
The emperor’s greed for land is still at high blood.
Have you not heard two hundred districts east of the Hua Mountain lie
Where briers and brambles grow in villages far and night?
Although stout women can wield the plough and the hoe，
They know not east from west where thorns and weeds o’ergrow。
The enemy are used to hard and stubborn fight：
Our men are driven just like dogs or fowls in flight。
You are kind to ask me.
To complain I'm not free.
In winter of this year
Conscription goes on here.
The magistrates for taxes press；
Just home， they’re sent to the frontier though their hair's grey。
The field on borderland becomes a sea of blood；
The emperor’s greed for land is still at high blood.
Have you not heard two hundred districts east of the Hua Mountain lie
Where briers and brambles grow in villages far and night?
Although stout women can wield the plough and the hoe，
They know not east from west where thorns and weeds o’ergrow。

Our men are driven just like dogs or fowls in flight。
You are kind to ask me.
To complain I'm not free.
In winter of this year
Conscription goes on here.
The magistrates for taxes press；
How can we pay them in distress!
If we had known sons bring no joy,
We'd have preferred girl to boy。
A daughter can be married to a neighbour, alas！
A son can only be buried under the grass！
Have you not seen
On borders green
Bleached bones since olden days unburied on the plain？
The old ghosts weep and cry， while the new ghosts complain；
The air is loud with screech and scream in gloomy rain。"
