Books referencing 《凱風》 Library Resources
1 凱風:
凱風自南、吹彼棘心。
棘心夭夭、母氏劬勞。
Kai Feng:
The genial wind from the south
Blows on the heart of that jujube tree,
Till that heart looks tender and beautiful.
What toil and pain did our mother endure!

2 凱風:
凱風自南、吹彼棘薪。
母氏聖善、我無令人。
Kai Feng:
The genial wind from the south
Blows on the branches of that jujube tree,
Our mother is wise and good;
But among us there is none good.

3 凱風:
爰有寒泉、在浚之下。
有子七人、母氏勞苦。
Kai Feng:
There is the cool spring
Below [the city of] Jun.
We are seven sons,
And our mother is full of pain and suffering.

4 凱風:
睍睆黃鳥、載好其音。
有子七人、莫慰母心。
Kai Feng:
The beautiful yellow birds
Give forth their pleasant notes.
We are seven sons,
And cannot compose our mother's heart.
