Translation of "Seeing Meng Haoran Off" 送孟浩然之廣陵, a poem by Li Bai—a.k.a. Li Po, Li T'ai Po—701-762 C.E., Tang Dynasty:
My old friend, leaving west,
bid farewell at Yellow Crane Tower,
among misty blossoms of the third month,
goes down to Yangzhou.
His lone sail going farther and father
vanishes into the azure skies,
now only the Long River is flowing
to the edge of Heaven.
故人西辭黃鶴樓
煙花三月下揚州
孤帆遠影碧空盡
惟見長江天際流
