Poems/Not Poems

Parting on the Mountain

By C. H. Kwock, Gary Gach, Wang Wei

 
 

 

I watch on the mountain ’til you disappear,

then close my wooden door                Night draws near

The grass will be green in spring next year                 Yes, but when

shall I ever see my dear friend coming this way again?

 

 

—Wang Wei, T’ang Dynasty.
   Translation by C. H. Kwock & G. G. Gach.
