年长始一男,心亦颇自娱。
生来岁未周,奄然却归无。
裸送不以衣,瘗埋于中衢。
乳母抱出门,所生亦随呼。
婴孩无哭仪,礼经不可逾。
亲戚相问时,抑悲空叹吁。
襁褓在旧床,每见立踟蹰。
静思益伤情,畏老为独夫。
年长始一男,心亦颇自娱。
生来岁未周,奄然却归无。
裸送不以衣,瘗埋于中衢。
乳母抱出门,所生亦随呼。
婴孩无哭仪,礼经不可逾。
亲戚相问时,抑悲空叹吁。
襁褓在旧床,每见立踟蹰。
静思益伤情,畏老为独夫。
年岁已长才得第一个男孩
心中也颇感自我欢愉
生下来还不到一周年
忽然间却回归虚无
裸身送葬不穿衣服
埋葬在城中的大路
乳母抱着他出门
生母也跟随哭呼
婴孩没有哭丧的礼仪
礼制经典不可逾越
亲戚前来询问时
压抑悲痛空自叹息
襁褓还在旧床之上
每次看见都驻足徘徊
静心思考更添伤感
害怕年老成为独夫
In later years, a first son born
My heart with private joy was worn.
Not yet a year since his life's start
Suddenly he did depart.
Sent off naked, without a gown
Buried beneath the central town.
His wet nurse carried him outside
His mother followed, weeping, cried.
An infant lacks a mourner's rite
Classics say it's not done right.
When relatives came to inquire
Held back grief, sighed in vain, entire.
His swaddling clothes upon the old bed
Each sight makes me pause, filled with dread.
Quiet thought deepens the wound's sting
Fear aging, a lone man, no offspring.
于鹄悼念早夭幼子的亲身经历。
丧子之痛击穿了血缘认同的根基,迫使诗人直面生命传承的断裂。
诗人哀悼早夭的幼子,描述丧葬之痛与暮年失独的悲凉。
