Four Rhymes to See Off Duke Yan Again at Fengji Station by Du Fu

Far escort from now on part Green mountains in vain repeat feeling When cup again grasp? Last night moon together walk Each prefecture eulogise cherish Three reigns out enter honour River village alone return place Lonely recuperate remaining years
After long escort, from now on we part, Green mountains: in vain I repeat my emotion. What day will we grasp the cup again? Last night we travelled together under the moon. In each region, you are eulogised and cherished, In three reigns old and new you have been honoured. I return alone to my riverside village, To live the last of life in solitude.
