South of the River, North of the River, Ten Thousand Mountains

Cai Yuqing  South of the river         North of the river                 Ten Thousand Mountains, Rare flowers, strange plants,         sealed with white mist. You have explored everywhere         secluded dark places. At one with mountains         spirts guard remote distance. Tall and straight         forever handsome, Fighting and floating         visited the red pines. Sure grip, remarkable books         I read your travel diaries, Pause at the sweet fragrance         marvel at your broad mind.
