These are from Dhyana Buddhism in China: Its History and Teaching by Dr. Chou Hsiang-Kuang, they are gathas of Bodhidharmas:
Every night I and Buddha sleep together, and embracing each other,
Every morning get up together;
If you want to know where is Buddha going?
It is this voice of word.
The second gatha is:
"Empty-handed I go, and behold, the spade is in my hand;
I walk on foot, yet on the back of an ox am I riding.
When I pass over the bridge;
Lo, the water floweth not; it is the bridge that floweth."
