The second verse of the poem is "Later I died, and even my feathers rotted in the land. Why do I often cry? Because I love this land deeply ... "Even if I die, it will make my body fertile.
Thus, before and after death, there is a strong contrast, and in this strong contrast and contrast, the persistent love of the "bird" for the land is that it was born in Sri Lanka, sang in Sri Lanka, buried in Sri Lanka, and read here until death does us part.
original text
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...

Poetry appreciation
Land is a vast image, and the poet chooses it as the object of lyricism and pour out, and its realm is extremely broad. However, these feelings are concentrated in 10 lines of poems, which have achieved excellent artistic effects.
First of all, this is because the author did not write from the real place, but from the imaginary place. He did not directly write about his relationship with the land, but imagined himself as a "bird" and used the relationship between the bird and the land to expand the artistic realm of the whole poem, making the overall structure of the whole poem appear ingenious and natural.
The word "bird" in poetry is just a general term, which is symbolic, unlike in ancient poetry (such as cuckoo and partridge). Singing with a hoarse throat is an eye-catching, gripping and thought-provoking poem, and it is also a unique highlight in the whole poem to deepen the author's feelings for the land.
Originally, the bird was beautiful and crisp, and there was no "hoarse voice", but the author especially showed "singing with a hoarse throat", which was the tragic atmosphere of the times at that time (in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War), the author's special personality and temperament, and the author's special expression needs. The aesthetic image produced by * * * greatly enhances and strengthens the aesthetic expression of the image.
From this, we can feel that the author's love for the land is so persistent, loyal and tenacious: even in the face of such a land saturated with suffering, the author should love unconditionally and sing for it tirelessly and with all his might! Next, the author uses a montage-like close-up to introduce the objects he wants to sing in turn: land, river, wind and dawn.
These are vast natural or cosmic images, which are dynamic and static, near and far, open and magnificent. Before Land, River, Wind and Dawn, the author deliberately added adjectives or modifiers with emotional color to transform them into symbolic and suggestive pictures.
From the perspective of conception, the author still sticks to the virtual image of "bird" ("even feathers rot in the land"), symbolically expressing his strong feelings of being born, singing, buried and loyal to the land. At this point, the feelings of poetry reached a climax.
