Entering Yellow Stream and Hearing an Ape
Liu Zongyuan
入黄溪闻猿
柳宗元 〔唐代〕
溪路千里曲,哀猿何处鸣。
孤臣泪已尽,虚作断肠声。
Stream road 1000 li bend Sorrow ape somewhere call Lonely servant tears already exhausted Empty do break bowels sound |
The road and stream bend for a thousand li, Sorrowfully, an ape somewhere calls. The lonely servant’s tears are now exhausted, The heartbreaking sound is in vain. |
