詩名在四方，獨此寄閒房。 故域寒濤闊，春城夜夢長。 禽聲沉遠木，花影動迴廊。 幾為分題客，殷勤掃石床。
English
Its verse known throughout the land;
this one alone I confide to your quiet dwelling.
In the old homeland, cold waves stretch wide;
in the spring city, night dreams grow long.
Birds’ songs dissolve into distant trees;
flower shadows drift along the winding veranda.
How often I’ve come as a guest to share a verse,
you, with earnest care, swept the stone couch.
