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.
