Seeking Xu Yuanchong's farewell translation of Ancient Grass! !

Restore the ancient grasslands

Meet sb. leave

Bai Juyi

The endless grassland on the plain,

As each season comes and goes.

Wildfire never devours them,

They have grown taller in the spring breeze.

Invade the ancient road from a distance,

Reach the crumbling gate.

Oh, my friend's prince, you left again,

I heard them sigh behind you.

Grass on the Ancient Plain-Farewell to Friends

Translated by Xu Yuanchong

Weeds are all over the ancient plains;

They come and go with spring and autumn.

Wildfire never quite consumes them them; and

When the spring breeze blows, they rise.

The way their fragrance overflows;

Their green color invaded the destroyed town.

Watching my friend go away,

My sorrow grows like a weed.
