فرح بلقاء ابن العم ثم وداعه
After ten years of upheaval and separation, grown now, we meet at last.
I ask your name, startled at first sight; I speak your name, recalling the face of old.
Since we parted, the world has changed like the sea; our words exhausted, the evening temple bells ring.
Tomorrow, on the road to Baling, how many autumn mountains again will lie between us?
喜見外弟又言別
十年離亂一作「亂離」後，長大一相逢。
問姓驚初見，稱名憶舊容。
別來滄海事，語罷暮天鐘。
明日巴陵道，秋山又幾重。
