The inscription reads:
豪氣衝寒雪浪開, 騎驢蹴踏小橋來, 梅蒼嶺互馨香滿, 折得旋歸助酒醅。時在甲戌(1934)季秋月，鍾藩先生法鑒。陽谷許人何處畫於湓浦
It may be translated as:
The heroic spirit battles the cold, the waves of snow thaw;
Riding a donkey, we slowly trod towards a small bridge,
The plum blossom and blue mountains together fill the air with a strong and pervasive fragrance;
I turn around and return to help with the wine!
In autumn of the jiaxu year,
appreciated by the intellectual Zhong Fan,
painted by He Xuren at Penpu.
