Homesickness
Li Gou


Person say set sun be sky limit
See utmost sky limit not see home
Already hate blue mountain each other separate
Blue mountain still by evening cloud covered
People say the setting sun marks the edge of the sky,
I look towards the edge of the sky, but cannot see my home.
Now I hate the blue mountain which parts us from each other,
The blue mountain still is covered by evening cloud.
