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. |
