釋文：不以離家久，焉知行詻難。締袍無客贈，長鋏問誰彈。夜雨搜詩苦，獨燈對影寒。春風差解意，鄉信慰平安。拙作寄呈，秋圃四叔大人誨正，姪照拜寫稾。鈐印：「□照之□」、「家住□林嶺底□邨□」

鑒藏印：
(莫伯驥)「東官莫氏多蔭草堂印」

本輯乃近世東莞藏書家莫伯驥（1878-1958）「五十萬卷樓」舊藏，此聞名粵省之收藏第二度於香港蘇富比釋出古代書畫。莫家藏書可溯源至晚唐學士莫宣卿，可謂陳編世守，嬋嫣不絕，至伯驥已是麻涌莫氏第廿八代，雖從商致富，然甘飯蔬食，癡迷古書，且無閥閱之氣，藏必研究，五十萬卷書外尚有著作數十種。惜身逢亂世，藏書著述或毀於戰火，或散落人間，聚散無常，自古如是。
四十年代初，莫伯驥隨子培樾遷居澳門，方得一片寧靜，然終究無力再搜集古書，衹留部份前賢學人翰墨，寄想過往。

本小輯作品清新雅致，均為文人間閒暇小品，還包括閨閣畫家方婉儀《墨梅》，收藏之品味，旨於佳品，不局限於畫名之大小，慧眼獨到。
