Farewell Feast for Wang Eleven's Journey South

I gaze after you across the vast misty waters,

Wiping my tears that soak my sleeve as I wave my hand.

Where has the flying bird vanished?

The green mountains face me in vain.

On the Yangtze River, a single sail grows distant;

At sunset, the spring light over the Five Lakes.

Who sees, upon the sandbar,

This longing that grieves at the white duckweed?

餞別王十一南遊

望君煙水闊,揮手淚霑巾。

飛鳥沒何處,青山空向人。

長江一帆遠,落日五湖春。

誰見汀洲上,相思愁白蘋。
