Parting at a Wine-shop in Nan-king

by Li Bai

A wind, bringing willow-cotton, sweetens the shop,

　　And a girl from Wu, pouring wine, urges me to share it.

　　With my comrades of the city who are here to see me off;

　　And as each of them drains his cup, I say to him in parting,

　　Oh, go and ask this river running to the east

　　If it can travel farther than a friend's love!

　　Li Po
