                        Leaving the White Emperor Town at Dawn

               Leaving at dawn the White Emperor crowned with cloud,

               I’ve sailed a thousand miles through canyons in a day.

              With monkeys’ sad adieus the riverbanks are loud;

              My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away.
