Farewell to Xin Jian at Lotus Tower
Wang Changling
A cold rain dissolved in East Stream invades the night;
At dawn you’ll leave the lonely Southern hills in haze.
If my friends in the North should ask if I’m all right,
Tell them I’m free from blame as ice in crystal vase.
The poet speaks of his innocence at parting with his friend.
