Homesickness by Li Gou

Some say the sun sets on the horizon
I see all corners of the sky but I do not see my home
I already hate the blue mountains for keeping us separated
Blue mountains covered in cloud by evening


I'm not an expert in Chinese (that's an understatement!) so I took a short cut. I read the word-by-word transcription of the characters and then wrote them out as I saw it in English syntax and grammar. Too much of a cheat? Perhaps - but fun.
