应似飞鸿踏雪泥。
It seems like a swan's traces on mud or on snow.
泥上偶然留指爪,
See the claw and nail prints by chance mud and snow bear.
鸿飞那复计东西!
Will the flying swan care what it has left below?
老僧已死成新塔,
The old monk, dead, has left but a dagoba new;
坏壁无由见旧题。
The verse we wrote was gone with the wall in decay.
往日崎岖还记否?
What I remember of the journey made with you
路长人困蹇驴嘶。
Is a weary long way and the lame donkey's bray.
