Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai (Part 5)
Qing Dynasty: Gong Zizhen
The sun is setting in the majestic sorrow of separation, chanting Whip East refers to the end of the world.
The falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.
Vernacular Translation:
The vast sadness of farewell extends to the distance where the sunset sets in the west. Leaving Beijing and waving the riding whip eastward, it feels like I am at the end of the world. When I resign and return home, I am like a fallen flower falling from a branch, but it is not a ruthless thing. It turns into the soil of spring and can also play a role in nurturing the next generation.
