聞說西庵好。藤州恐不歸。延年松可食。避世草堪衣。山塢雪應滾。林端梅亦稀。猶憐二禪老。佳句及城扉。

I have heard tell that the Western Hermitage is fine, / and I fear you will not return to Tengzhou. / To prolong one's years, pine may be eaten; / to flee the world, grass may be worn. / In the mountain docks, the snow must be billowing; / at the forest edge, plum blossoms too are scarce. / Still I cherish the two Chan elders, / whose fine lines reach my city gate.
