A Note about My Homecoming

                         He Zhizhang

I left home as a youth and now come back as an old man.

My native tongue is still the same as ever but my hair becomes gray.

The children look at me and don't recognize me,

They ask me courteously, "Sir. Where do come from?“

From 100 Tang and Song Quatrain Masterpieces by Great Poets

回乡偶书

      贺知章

少小离家老大回，

乡音无改鬓毛衰。

儿童相见不相识，

笑问客从何处来。
