Parting from a Friend at YangZhou Zheng Gu 扬子江头杨柳春,On the banks of Yangtse River willows celebrate spring. 杨花愁杀渡江人.But their catkins sadden those waiting by the ferry crossing. 数声风笛离亭晚,At the Yangzhou stage coach inn, where we now part, a flute plays. 君向潇湘我向秦.You heading for Bamboo Country, while I for Loess Land.
