DU FU'S(712-770) DEATH

That was the final crossing,

as the dark waters below

and the dark skies above,

blurry to you weakened eyes,

merged and one black wave

of silence carried you away,

and the northern capitals,

longer-for, were as distant now

as the unreachable shore;

that was the final crossing,

from the crest of the world's

wave to the still waters

of the unmoving past.
