明日巴陵道，秋山又几重。

English Meaning
After ten years of war and exile, we meet again, grown. Asking your name startles me as at first sight; hearing it revives the old face. All that has happened since is Cang-sea change; when talk ends, the evening bell tolls. Tomorrow you take the Baling road — how many autumn ranges beyond?
