 132. THE GRAVE OF LI PO

By the River of Tsai-shih

There is Li Po's mound

Amid the endless plains of grass

That stretch to the cloud-patched sky.

Alas! here under the fallow field

The bones of him lie whose writing once

Startled heavens and shook the earth.

Of all poets, unfortunate as they be,

There is none wretcheder, Master, than you.

Po Chu-i.

��It is likely that Po Chu-I visited the grave of Li Po during his banishment at Kiu-Iciang, 815-818. [195]
