On a walk in the early spring harmonizing a poem by my friend Lu stationed at Changzhou –  Du Shenyan
Only to wanderers can come
Ever new the shock of beauty,
Of white cloud and red cloud dawning from the sea,
Of spring in the wild-plum and river-willow….
I watch a yellow oriole dart in the warm air,
And a green water- plant reflected by the sun.
Suddenly an old song fills
My heart with home, my eyes with tears.

和晋陵陆丞早春游望

云霞出海曙， 梅柳渡江春。
淑气催黄鸟， 晴光转绿苹。
忽闻歌古调， 归思欲沾巾。
