Original poem:
Li Bai was just about to leave when he heard a farewell song from the shore.
Even if the Peach Blossom Pond is deep, it is not as deep as Wang Lun's sending away my love.
Poetry translation:
I was getting on the boat when I was about to untie the cable and set off when I heard melodious singing from the shore.
Look at Taohuatan. Even though thousands of feet is deep, how can I be as grateful as Wang Lun?
