If you fell, there were dragons and rivermonsters. There were waters to cross, they were wild and tossing Seemed to be your face, still floating in the air. I woke, and the low moon's glimmer on a rafter How could you lift your wings and use them? Yet out of the midmost mesh of your snare, You came to me through the green of a forest, Till you came to me last night in a dream, You had sent me not one sign from your exile. From the poisonous damps of the southern river There are sobs when death is the cause of parting īut life has its partings again and again. She leans in the sunset by a tall bamboo.

He continued to write poems to, or about, Li for many years after. He met Li Po in 745, and was deeply impressed by the older poet in spite of, or perhaps because of, their very different personalities.
