下面是颇有诗意的《加州客栈》
月黑大漠路迢迢,风高凛冽客思归,
人倦眼乏昏欲睡,闻香忽见灯火碎,
但见有女娉婷立,耳畔钟声如乐起,
天堂地狱两相忘,浑然不似在人间,
秉烛引路过画廊,人声嘈杂迎客至:
加州客栈诚待客,虚位以侯游子回,
衣香鬓影佳人意,玉郎终始为君来,
放歌纵舞前廊院,香汗淋漓未尽欢:
纵使笙歌能醉月,情未忘我怎忘情?
便向校官索美酒,经年未备意阑珊,
午夜梦回旧馆舍,声声呼唤充耳闻,
倦鸟羁留深林久,此间乐哉不思飞,
宝镜倒映烛影晃,寒冰装点酒色红,
宾客齐至成盛筵,佳人美酒俱添光,
轻启朱唇惊四座,投杯停箸不能食:
钢刀银叉手中持,心魔犹在不能消,
自我羁押成囚徒,吾辈颓然尚不知。
闻言仓皇寻旧路,四顾茫茫无著处,
明朝更向何处去?更者悠然言少歇:
纵然我辈长别离,此生有命不能弃,
前路漫漫归旧旅,生此回环无尽时。
