昔日高考辞京走
寒窗讲台十二秋
邙山古冢几为家
命运多变梦未酬
转业故地人篱下
一日去国不回头
觅得番营打工仔
偏安一隅迷魂酒
稀里糊涂十二载
对镜青丝已白头
日暮乡关无处寻
国王山上无限愁。

Once upon a time I left the Capital after the college entrance test
12 years then I spent in study and teaching
I almost set up a home neighboring the ancient tombs in Mount Mang
But life's vissititudes rendered my dream broken
A change to career in the Capital put me under other's roof
When I left the country, I decided not to return
Finally I landed a job in a foreign camp
At this place I drank the wine of oblivion
Muddle-headed I spent another 12 years here already
And my black hair has turned gray in the mirror
At dusk I look around and nowhere can I see my hometown
On the mount of rey there is nothing but sadness and sorrow.

日暮乡关古冢丘，
国王山上且斟酒。

老方的这诗，读来有些沉重。
