Mother bird Tom Sharp

An owl took my chick. I don’t know why. It’s too cruel. I’ve gathered food for rainy days; I’ve made and mended my nest. I’m miserable. I cry out. Nothing is safe.

鸱鴞 诗经

鸱鴞鸱鴞，既取我子，无毁我室。 恩斯勤斯，鬻子之闵斯。 迨天之未阴雨，彻彼桑土，绸缪牖户。 今女下民，或敢侮予。 予手拮据，予所捋荼，予所蓄租， 予口卒瘏，曰予未有室家。 予羽谯谯，予尾翛翛，予室翘翘， 风雨所漂摇，予维音哓哓。
