送盡行人成手舟
年々兀在大江頭
世間名利如韁鎖
嗟爾為神不自由
過自由神像美洲
遊草之一
蔡張宜幼詩録於
大平山麓之宜樓
I send off the departing travelers on a hand drawn boat
Year after year, I stand at the head of the great river
Wordily fame and fortune are like a tethering chain
Alas, you are a god who is not free
Passing by the Statue of Liberty in America
A poem of wandering through the grass
Cai Zhangyi's poem from his youth inscribed in the Yi Hotel at the foot of Daping Mountains.
Seal,
張紉詩印　Poem seal of Zhangren
Starting seal,
春文字相　Spring character seal

I believe that the poet and the calligrapher are the same person. The difference in the given name is due to the fact that the Zhangren variation is probably his courtesy name.
On Chinese-language search engines no results for this name.

With regards.
I.Nagy
