贺知章Tang dynastyseven-character quatrain
SOURCE TEXT · 中文原文
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？
English translation

Written on Coming Home

I left home young and come back old;
my home accent unchanged, the hair at my temples thinned.
The children see me and do not know me;
laughing, they ask where the guest has come from.
