回鄉偶書 賀知章

回鄉偶書      賀知章 (659-744)
少小離家老大回，鄉音無改鬢毛催。

兒童相見不相識，笑問客從何處來。

Back in my homeland           He Zhizhang (659-744)

Having left my homeland when I was young now I return as a gaffer,

Despite my age told by my temple hair my native accent remains as ever,

To the children I meet I am a total stranger,

They just ask nicely whence comes this outlander.
