Farewell to So Yanggok
Paulownia leaves fall in the moonlight;
wild chrysanthemums yellow in the frost.
The pavilion reaches within a foot of heaven; drunk, we’ve supped a thousand cups.
The water as it flows is limpid as the komun’go, and plum fragrance suffuses the p’iri pipe.
In the morning we part,
but our love will be as long as the blue waves.
