Translation of "Leaving White King City," a poem by Li Bai—a.k.a. Li Po, Li T'ai Po—701-762 C.E., Tang Dynasty:


White King City I left at dawn in the morning-glow of the clouds;
The thousand miles to Chiang-ling we sailed in a single day.
On either shore the gibbons' chatter sounded without pause
While my light boat skimmed past ten thousand sombre crags.

朝辞白帝彩云间
千里江陵一日还
两岸猿声啼不住
轻舟已过万重山
