Cuckoo Bird Cries
Tall forest, clear summer night with dripping dew
Southern mountain cuckoo bird sounds one after another.
Neighbor’s house frosty, widowed mother embraces her child with tears
I toss and turn alone in bed, how to make known these times.
Notes:
Cuckoo birds: They symbolized the expression, “Come back to me”.
Commentary:
Wei is also thinking of his deceased spouse.
