SEPARATION ON THE RIVER KIANG by LI PO

First Line: KO-JIN GOES WEST FROM KO-KAKU-RO
Last Line: THE LONG KIANG, REACHING HEAVEN.
Subject(s): FAREWELL; RIVERS; PARTING;

Ko-Jin goes west from Ko-kaku-ro,
The smoke-flowers are blurred over the river.
His lone sail blots the far sky.
And now I see only the river,
The long Kiang, reaching heaven.
