黃鳥 - Huang Niao

English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《黃鳥》 Library Resources
1 黃鳥:
交交黃鳥、止于棘。
誰從穆公、子車奄息。
維此奄息、百夫之特
臨其穴、惴惴其慄。
彼蒼者天、殲我良人。
如可贖兮、人百其身。
Huang Niao:
They flit about, the yellow birds,
And rest upon the jujube trees.
Who followed duke Mu [to the grave]?
Ziche Yansi.
And this Yansi,
Was a man above a hundred.
When he came to the grave,
He looked terrified and trembled.
Thou azure Heaven there!
Thou art destroying our good men.
Could he have been redeemed,
We should have given a hundred lives for him.
