一枝一叶总关情[6]。

Written on a Picture of Bamboo[1]
Zheng Xie
I listen in my office to rustling bamboo;
It seems to complain of its woe as people do.
Petty official, I should try to play my part;
To ease shivering leaf as sorrow-laden heart.

[1]This quatrain was written on a picture drawn by the poet for Governor Bao.
