O owl, O owl,
You have taken my young ones ; –
Do not [also] destroy my nest.
With love and with toil,
I nourished them. – I am to be pitied.
Before the sky was dark with rain,
I gathered the roots of the mulberry tree,
And bound round and round my window and door.
Now ye people below,
Dare any of you despise my house ?
With my claws I tore and held.
Through the rushes which I gathered,
And all the materials I collected,
My mouth was all sore ; –
I said to myself, ' I have not yet got my house complete. '
My wings are all-injured ;
My tail is all-broken ;
My house is in a perilous condition ;
It is tossed about in the wind and rain : –
I can but cry out with this note of alarm.
Legge 155
