Katydid Song
(from the Shijing, Classic of Poetry)
katydid song
we millions strong
listen all my children
we shake ourselves awake
katydid song
we swarm along
listen all my children
we all form our lines
katydid song
we bid you “so long”
listen all my children
and now we go to sleep
螽斯
螽斯羽，
诜诜兮。
宜尔子孙，
振振兮。
螽斯羽，
薨薨兮。
宜尔子孙，
绳绳兮。
螽斯羽，
揖揖兮。
宜尔子孙，
蛰蛰兮。
Gushiwensday
katydid spread your wings, yellow black and green, oh!
