An Old Face Returned His Hometown Poem by Luo Zhihai

老顏返鄉

羈客途中腰酸背痛吊影
歸人馬上眼近心憐懷鄉
村鄰未認霜鬢老顏癡笑
粉蝶已知荷塘新意激昂

注：第一四句羅志海作，第二三句葉葉新作。


An Old Face Returned His Hometown

A returned person on the horse
near to take pity on his hometown
A passenger in the journey
had a pain in the back
extremely lonely

Villagers and neighbors didn't recognize him
an old face with double frosty temples was giggling
The pink butterflies already knew the lotus pool
its new feelings arousing
