How to recite "I love this land"

I love this land, Ai Qing.

If I were a bird,

I should also/with a hoarse throat/sing:

This storm/this land,

This is always surging/our sadness/river,

This constant/blowing/annoying/wind,

And the/very gentle/dawn from the forest. ...

Then/I died,

Even the feathers have rotted underground.

Why/my eyes/often contain tears?

Because I/deeply love this land …
