上霄降灵气，钟此千年禽。
幽闲靖节性，孤高伯夷心。
颉颃紫霄垠，飘飖沧浪浔。
岳湛有仙姿，钧韶无俗音。
毛滋月华淡，顶粹霞光深。
目流泉客泪，翅垂羽人襟。
腾汉雪千丈，点溪霜半寻。
纤喙砺青铁，修胫雕碧琳。
岩栖干溪树，泽饮卑朱泠。
鸾皇自埙箎，燕雀徒商参。
独翅耸琼枝，群舞倾瑶林。
病余霞云段，梦回松吹吟。
静嫌鹦鹉言，高笑鸳鸯淫。
金清泠澄澈，玉玉格寒萧森。
洁白不我恃，腥膻非所任。
稻粱不得已，虮虱胡为侵。
天池忆鹏游，云罗伤凤沈。
风流超缟素，雅淡绝规箴。
相亲长道情，偶见锁烦襟。
西汉惜冯唐，华皓欲投簪。
南朝仰卫玠，清羸疑不禁。
端如方直臣，处群良足钦。
介如廉退士，惊秋犹在阴。
几诮鹰隼鸷，覊鞲俄见临。
还嗤凫鹥贪，弋缴终就擒。
乘轩乃一芥，空笼仍万金。
片云伴遥影，冥冥越烟岑。
长飚送逸响，亭亭出霜砧。
蓬瀛忽往来，桑田成古今。
顾下八佾庭，鼓舞薰风琴。
上天的灵秀之气降临，
汇聚在这千年的仙鹤身上。
它的性情幽静闲适、高洁自持，
心志孤高，如同伯夷一般。
它在紫霄的边际翱翔盘旋，
飘荡在碧浪的水边。
它有岳湛那样的仙人之姿，
鸣声如钧天广乐、韶乐，没有俗音。
羽毛被月光浸染得素淡，
顶冠凝聚着深邃的霞光。
目光如泉客泣珠般流泪，
翅膀低垂似羽人的衣襟。
腾飞于银河，映照千丈雪光，
点掠溪水，沾染半寻寒霜。
纤细的长喙如同磨砺过的青铁，
修长的腿仿佛雕琢的碧玉。
栖息在山岩旁干涸溪流的树上，
在低处的朱泠泉饮水。
鸾凤和谐如埙篪相和，
燕雀之辈只能杂乱鸣叫。
独自耸立时，翅膀高耸于琼枝之上，
群鹤共舞时，身姿使瑶林倾倒。
病愈后如一段绚丽的霞云，
梦醒时听见松风吹拂如吟咏。
它喜好安静，嫌弃鹦鹉的学舌，
品格高尚，嗤笑鸳鸯的淫狎。
它的气质如金水般清冽澄澈，
它的风骨如玉般寒峻萧森。
它并不自恃自身的洁白，
腥膻污浊之物绝非它所愿承受。
食用稻粱是不得已之事，
虮虱之类的污秽怎敢侵扰？
它回忆大鹏翱翔天池的畅游，
哀伤凤凰被困罗网的沉沦。
它的风韵超越洁白的绢素，
它的雅淡断绝了规诫的痕迹。
与人相亲，滋长的是道义之情，
偶然被人看见，能解开烦闷的心结。
如同西汉惋惜冯唐年老不遇，
白发苍苍想要弃官归隐。
如同南朝人敬仰卫玠的风神，
清瘦羸弱得仿佛难以禁受。
端正如朝堂上的方正直臣，
处于群体之中，实在令人钦佩。
耿介如廉洁退隐的士人，
惊觉秋至，却仍甘处幽荫。
它曾几度讥讽鹰隼的凶猛，
转眼却被羁绊，突然面临束缚。
它还嗤笑野鸭鸥鸟的贪欲，
终被箭矢丝线所擒获。
乘坐轩车对它而言不过草芥小事，
即使空笼囚禁，它仍价值万金。
片片白云陪伴它遥远的身影，
在冥冥之中飞越烟雾笼罩的山岭。
长风传送它飘逸的声响，
它亭亭而立，超脱于霜冷的砧石之上。
它忽然往来于蓬莱瀛洲仙境，
目睹桑田沧海化为古今之变。
它俯视下方宫廷的八佾之舞，
鼓舞着和煦南风中的琴音。
From the heavens descends a numinous breath,
Concentrated in this millennial crane.
Its nature is serene, pure, and detached,
A heart lofty and aloof, like Bo Yi's own.
It soars and hovers at the edge of purple empyrean,
Drifts and sways by the shores of the azure waves.
It bears the immortal grace of Yue and Zhan,
Its notes, like Jun and Shao music, free of vulgar tone.
Its feathers moistened, pale under moonlight,
Its crown refined, steeped in deep rosy light.
Eyes stream tears like a wanderer by the spring,
Wings droop like the lapels of a feathered sprite.
It ascends the Han, snow a thousand zhang high,
Touches the stream, frost half a xun deep.
Slender beak whets like blue iron,
Long legs carved from jasper green.
It perches on trees by dry mountain streams,
Drinks from low, vermilion springs.
Phoenixes harmonize like xun and chi,
Swallows and sparrows but chirp in discord.
Alone, it raises wings on jasper boughs,
In groups, they dance, tilting the jade grove.
After illness, a stretch of sunset cloud,
Awake from dreams, the sigh of wind through pines.
Quiet, it scorns the parrot's chatter,
Lofty, it laughs at mandarin ducks' amorousness.
Its essence clear, limpid and pure,
Its jade-like frame, cold and austere.
Purity and whiteness are not its boast,
Rankness and filth it cannot bear.
Grain and millet are but necessity,
How could lice and fleas presume to invade?
It recalls Peng's play in the Celestial Pool,
Grieves the phoenix trapped in the cloud net.
Its grace surpasses plain white silk,
Its elegance transcends all rules and admonitions.
In kinship, it fosters enduring Daoist bonds,
By chance seen, it loosens the locked, troubled heart.
Like the Western Han's regret for Feng Tang,
White-haired, wishing to cast off the official pin.
Like the Southern Dynasties' admiration for Wei Jie,
So frail and pure, seemingly too delicate.
Upright as an honest minister in court,
Standing among the crowd, truly admirable.
Incorruptible as a recluse scholar,
Startled by autumn, yet remaining in shade.
How often it mocked the fierce hawk and falcon,
Soon bound by jesses, suddenly confronted.
And scoffed at the greedy duck and gull,
Finally caught by arrow and string.
A carriage ride is but a trifle to it,
An empty cage still worth ten thousand gold.
A wisp of cloud accompanies its distant shadow,
Vaguely, it crosses the misty peaks.
A long gust sends its far-reaching cry,
Erect, it emerges from the frosty anvil stones.
Suddenly it travels to Peng and Ying isles,
Mulberry fields turn to past and present.
Looking down on the court of eight rows of dancers,
It stirs the wind-warmed zither with its鼓舞.
以千年灵禽为意象，探讨超凡生命在自然周期中的永恒价值。
描绘仙鹤超凡脱俗的灵异形象，寄托对高洁品格的赞美。
本诗为五言古诗，押平声韵。
