Description:By Zhong Dingwen. Taipei: Taiwan Poetry (a Green Window Poetry Draft). Published in May 1951. 164 pages.

The cover of this book bears the inscription of Yu Youren and an illustration by Liang Zhongming of a figure playing a harp, echoing the poet's preface, titled "The Harp". When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Zhong cast aside his pen to join the army, and stopped publishing poems. Only at the urging of his friends Dai Wangshu and Ai Qing years later, long after the close of the war, did he start writing poetry again ("I took up my long-lost harp," he writes); his passion for poetry reignited.

The short collection of poems titled Walking and Singing is Zhong's "first virgin anthology of new poems in over 20 years." The book is divided into two volumes, the first containing pieces he wrote after he came to Taiwan, and the second a record of his pre-Taiwan works. There are 26 poems in all, many of them exceeding 30 or 40 lines. The content mainly covers themes of longing and sentimentality, as well as narratives. Poems such as "Twilight at Kaohsiung Harbor", "Song of Tamsui River", "Clear View at Keelung", and "Chikan Towers Memories", despite invoking local Taiwanese scenes, are replete with a sense of nostalgia for China, and in them we can see the effects of changing times on the writer. Dai Duheng in his essay "An epigraph of Walking and Singing," notes that Zhong's poetic style is "succinct, fluid and vigorous," "full of power yet not tending toward crudeness, full of feeling yet not tending toward morbidity," and that he is a "poet who is not influenced by trends, but willing to walk his own path."

其他說明:鍾鼎文著，台北：台灣詩壇（綠窗詩草之一），1951年5月出版，164頁。
本書封面由于右任題字，梁中銘繪製插圖，以一位演奏者撥動豎琴的畫面，呼應詩人代序〈豎琴〉一文──對日戰爭期間，投筆從戎的鍾鼎文停止發表詩作，後來是在好友戴望舒、艾青的鼓勵下，才重新「拾起我久失去的豎琴」，寫下這首抗戰以來的第一首詩作，再度點燃其對詩的熱情。
對鍾鼎文而言，《行吟者》這部小小的詩集乃是其「習作新詩二十餘年的第一部處女集」，全書分為上下兩集，上集是他來台後的作品，下集則收錄來台前的創作，總計26首，不少篇幅皆超過三、四十行，內容多以懷想、抒情和敘事為主。其中〈高雄港的黃昏〉、〈淡水河之歌〉、〈基隆的晴望〉、〈赤崁樓懷古〉等雖以台灣在地景緻為主題，實則含有濃厚的懷鄉愁思，亦可由此窺見時代鉅變對作者的影響。戴杜衡在〈「行吟者」題記〉一文中指出，鍾鼎文的詩風「明快、流利而健康」，「充滿力量而不流於粗率，充滿感情而不流於病態」，因而是一個「能夠不受時代影響，願意獨自走著自己的路的詩人。」
