This is a poem by Chen Du.
Mountains up
Mountains down
Never can I
Arrive at your shore
The sky rises
The sky falls
Never can we
Love under the same sunshine
When I finally crossed the mountains
You went sailing
When I dreamed of you
You were awoken
Neither lightning bolts would shorten
Nor the rainbow would bridge
Nor the cloud would smoothen
The distance between, you and me
