Bai Juyi (772-846)

Grasses — Bai Juyi
白居易 《赋得古原草送别》
离离原上草,
一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽,
春风吹又生。
远芳侵古道,
晴翠接荒城。
又送王孙去,
萋萋满别情。
Grasses
By Bai Juyi
Boundless grasses over the plain
Come and go with every season;
Wildfire never quite consumes them —
They are tall once more in the spring wind.
Sweet they press on the old high- road
And reach the crumbling city-gate….
O Prince of Friends, you are gone again….
I hear them sighing after you.
