So gorgeous she floating, <br />in the golden shine, <br />Fair as an angel, <br />On the shimmering waters <br />flown by time. <br /> <br />The mazes of little trees <br />With dim shadows, <br />Which deep into it, <br />The swan feared to explore, <br />Myriad darkness, <br />Countless blindness. <br /> <br />Lighthearted and gay, <br />She splashed around the water, <br />And rose to sky, <br />Wide and blue above, <br />She reached so high. <br /> <br />Curved her gentle neck, <br />Thinking <br />Without noticing the attack, <br />She was caught <br />Once she came back. <br /> <br />Crazily <br />How she struggled, <br />Her screaming weakened, <br />She was fastened, <br />Her soul been pinioned. <br /> <br />Out of balance, <br />Out of mind, <br />She dropped from heaven, <br />Living with a ban.<br /><br />Wang Qian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pinioned-swan/
