Cicada, Li shang yin 蟬 李商隱

live at high and never easy to be full
still keep making loud voice
the voice becomes sparse and even stops at five 'Geng' (around 5 am)
a tree of green with no response
being a tiny officer but the peduncle floats
the garden at home is already out of care
feel thankful the cicada reminds me most
I also make the whole family upright

本以高難飽,徒勞恨費聲
五更疏慾斷,一樹碧無情
薄宦梗猶泛,故園蕪已平
煩君最相警,我亦舉家清
