Inscription: 依村構草亭，端方意匠宏。
林深禽鳥樂，塵遠竹松輕。
泉石俱延賞，琴書悅性情。
何當謝凡近，任適慰平生。
至正七年丁亥冬十月，為元澤戲作草亭詩意。梅沙彌書
[印]楳華盦; 嘉興吳鎮仲圭書畫記 Translation: Artist's inscription, signature, and 2 seals:
A thatched pavilion stands by the side of a hamlet./
Well conceived, the view from it is expansive./
The forest deepens just as the birds are joyful./
The bamboo and pines remain light, as the dusty world is far away./
Its spring and rocks are for our enjoyment./
The qin and books are to delight our spirit./
How should I bid farewell to those of the common place?/
May it suit our heart’s desire and bring solace to our life.
In the tenth month of winter, in dinghai, the seventh year of Zhizheng [1347], did this Poetic Feeling in a Thatched Pavilion playfully for Yuanze. Written by Mei shami [Novice of the Plum Blossom].
[seals] Mei hua an; Jiaxing Wu Zhen zhong gui shu hua ji Inscription: 我愛梅花翁，巨老傳心印。
脩此水墨缘，種種得蒼潤。
樹石墮筆鋒，造化不能吝。
而今橡林下，我願執掃汛。
後學沈周 [印]启南 Translation: Colophon by Shen Zhou (1427-1509):
I love the Old Man of the Plum-blossom,/
Who inherited the secrets of Juran from heart to heart./
In cultivating this "water and ink kinship"/
He was able to endow everything with a touch of aged mellowness./
Trees and rocks seem to fall from his brush [so effortlessly]/
That even nature itself could hardly deny their emergence./
So now, under the grove of the oak trees,/
I am willing to serve him with all humility.
Shen Zhou, a later follower. [seal] Qinan Inscription: Colophon by Chen Rentao (1952):
予求梅道人畫二十年不可得。所見多膺鼎，即故宮所藏山水數軸都不可靠。傳世真迹，惟《漁父圖》、《嘉禾八景》與此《草亭詩意》而已。壬辰十月十四日余大病初愈，居家休養，研山師忽持此圖相贈。展卷披覽，頓覺精神沛振，如服僊藥。同日又得宋拓柳公權《神策軍紀聖德碑》，及群玉堂藏《真草書千(字)文》，皆海內孤本。一日得數寶，欣喜何如，書以志幸。
