虞世南:蟬
蟬 The Cicada
垂緌飲清露 Drunk with fresh dew, your trill will flow
流響出疏桐 From 'mid the sparse parasol trees.
居高聲自遠 Rising high, far your voice will go,
非是藉秋風 Not on the wings of autumn breeze.
V2: It bends down to drink the clear dew.
Sound flows from the sparse paulownia trees.
Dwelling high, its voice naturally travels far.
It needs no help from the autumn wind.
--Yu Shinan (558-638)
