A Chinese Poem I Love this Land Ai Oing IfI were a bird, I would sing with my hoarse voice Of this land buffeted by storms, Of this river turbulent with our grief, Of these angry winds ceaselessly blowing, And of the dawn,infinitely gentle over the woods. -Then I would die And even my feather would rot in the soil. Why are my eyes always brimming with tears? Because I love this land so deeply. November 17,1938 (欧阳桢、彭文兰、玛丽莱金译)
