Chinese Poem 白居易燕詩 Drawing

Chinese Poem, “Swallows”, wrote by Bai Ju Yi of Tang Dynasty, by Chinese Calligraphy wrote on paper. Text: A pair of Swallows on the beam, What a fine Husband-and-Wife team. B'twixt beams, soil-saliva are mix'd, To build a nest for their four chicks. Yellow hatchlings grow day and night, Always crying for more food flight. Green worms are not easy to catch, Babies' hunger is ne'er dispatch'd. Though signs of stress beaks and claws show, Fatigue the lov'ng parents don't know. Even after a dozen flights, Will the dear ones still need more bites? After thirty laborious days, Nestlings are plump, and Mom slim stays. They're taught to speak and sing high notes; Groomed are their fine feathery coats. Once the young birds' wings become strong, They're led up th' branches before long. Off they fly -- never looking back, Dispersing in the wind, and tack. The parents cry endless in th' wind! But th' young birds are ne'er again seen. Returning to their empty nest, All night -- sorrows swell up their breast. Swallow, Swallow, grieve not like so, Just remember your days of old: When you were young you turn'd your back To your parents and off you tack'd! Your Mom and Dad were worried so -- Today, the same griefs you should know!
