Facing the End by Li Pai (Li Bei, Li Po)

Soaring above the world’s horizon
the Peng’s strength failed halfway to heaven
I had enough wind for ten thousand generations
but my robe caught on the Sunrise Tree
I leave it behind for whoever finds it
Confucius is dead who’ll cry for me

translated by Red Pine
