《天安门诗抄·五言诗·其二》
天惊一声雷，地倾绝其维。
顿时九州寂，无语皆泪水。
相告不成声，欲言泪复垂。
听时不敢信，信时心已碎。
Heavenis rocked with a clap of thunder;
Earthreels, snapping its cord.1
Thenation is stunned into sudden silence;
Aswe stand mutely, tears stream forth.
Wewould speak, but find not our tongues,
Eachword broken by anguished sobs.
Hearingthe news, we dared not believe;
Believingthe news, our hearts are rent.
（肖兰 译）
