己亥岁末逢穆永强贤弟索诗遂怀往昔洽好成斯文谨赠。并祝阖家安泰，文武双全，人才两旺，景泰连环，至于永远。此序。

燃香廿四时，袅袅蒸腾非曩日。

与君初相遇，北格焉识春风意。

呼君为黑米，非是君黑耳。

羡君黝黑色，然是吾无也。

细算时光如流水，翻然十七年前事。

值我少年时，学成初赋闲。

兵荒马乱舛方歇，值彼癸未年。

夏暑难敛秋老虎，约得半载更提前。

雨时泥泞夜时寒，

只有冬儿一枚相往还，莽莽秋葵耐火砖。

转瞬事将成，搬来一众威勇似神仙。

君即在其中，并君家长兄。

更有亮米和二鹏。

最先吾腼腆，多蒙君大胆。

亦曾三日三夜上工夜连轴转，

一来二往结成至交如患难。

越日俟开工，东家请大仙。

似三牲太牢皆齐备，

遂得东家侄女婿，命我同二鹏，

各牵绵羊巡一遭，头蒙红布祭献好开工。

彼时双双走，麻绳在吾手，

未料羊知既死猛一挣，吾手顺时松。

彼徒出奔，越户穿门，竞向无涯荒野中。

吾侪亦相后，呼号撵不够，

载慌载奔二刻中，气喘吁吁十数人。

彼亦功成，累亦联群。

不抵入夜斗北风，披大衣似斗篷。

胡天海地侃无穷，入夜开工皆寂寞。

缥缈虚无似有灵，也分零食也高歌。

次岁春四月，吾往清源去。

转至次次年，折桂八月间。

翻翻两年半，幽燕识吾面。

两两不知年，贤弟妻贤子孝成人俨然。

说是不吾思，亦非薄情主。

只够天涯生计中，难如昔日少年意气相为伍。

依稀那岁有还家，君携诸朋诸友看吾来。

全然脱稚气，吾亦坎坷遭逢多木讷。

吾父吾母未识名，只问各系谁家子。

言来父辈皆系旧相识。

早年皆步行，彼时车代步。

喜见诸君皆有成，数载飘零相逢忽悲怆。

早岁青春共有时，未知真擅歌。

烛影摇红涂川里，君言向天再借五百年之豪迈语。

惊煞满座衣冠钦羡也。

细问君何干，依稀在远地。

妻子皆贤良，外戚亦给力。

昔日吾贤弟孩童黑米，如今为父为夫矣。

吾亦久飘零，吃酒不禁问，非系口风严，实无一乐可相传。

相识十七年，承蒙抬爱厚。

吾亦凡夫子，感君垂青久。

纵使天涯相见少，往岁情长不得老。

愿君珍重且加餐，如若重逢必有缘。

如若重逢难再期，年年岁岁祈祷亦弗离。
