Saying Goodbye to Meng Haoran at Yellow Crane Tower

This is my favorite Li Bai poem.
At Yellow Crane Tower in the west
My old friend says farewell
In the mists and flowers of spring
He goes down to Yangzhou.

Lonely sail, distant shadow
Vanish in blue emptiness
All I see is the great river
Flowing into the far horizon.
