下面是頗有詩意的《加州客棧》
月黑大漠路迢迢，風高凜冽客思歸，
人倦眼乏昏欲睡，聞香忽見燈火碎，
但見有女娉婷立，耳畔鐘聲如樂起，
天堂地獄兩相忘，渾然不似在人間，
秉燭引路過畫廊，人聲嘈雜迎客至：
加州客棧誠待客，虛位以侯遊子回，
衣香鬢影佳人意，玉郎終始為君來，
放歌縱舞前廊院，香汗淋漓未盡歡：
縱使笙歌能醉月，情未忘我怎忘情？
便向校官索美酒，經年未備意闌珊，
午夜夢回舊館舍，聲聲呼喚充耳聞，
倦鳥羈留深林久，此間樂哉不思飛，
寶鏡倒映燭影晃，寒冰裝點酒色紅，
賓客齊至成盛筵，佳人美酒俱添光，
輕啟朱唇驚四座，投杯停箸不能食：
鋼刀銀叉手中持，心魔猶在不能消，
自我羈押成囚徒，吾輩頹然尚不知。
聞言倉皇尋舊路，四顧茫茫無著處，
明朝更向何處去？更者悠然言少歇：
縱然我輩長別離，此生有命不能棄，
前路漫漫歸舊旅，生此回環無盡時。
