毛詩序：「《鴇羽》，刺時也。昭公之後，大亂五世，君子下從征役，不得養其父母，而作是詩也。」鴇羽
肅肅鴇羽，集于苞栩。王事靡盬，不能蓺稷黍。父母何怙？悠悠蒼天，曷其有所。
Su-su go the feathers of the wild geese,
As they settle on the bushy oaks.
The king's affairs must not be slackly discharged,
And [so] we cannot plant our sacrificial millet and millet; -
What will our parents have to rely on?
O thou distant and azure Heaven!
When shall we be in our places again?
肅肅鴇翼，集于苞棘。王事靡盬，不能蓺黍稷。父母何食？悠悠蒼天，曷其有極。
Su-su go the wings of the wild geese,
As they settle on the bushy jujube trees.
The king's affairs must not be slackly discharged,
And [so] we cannot plant our millet and sacrificial millet; -
How shall our parents be supplied with food?
O thou distant and azure Heaven!
When shall [our service] have an end?
肅肅鴇行，集于苞桑。王事靡盬，不能蓺稻粱。父母何嘗？悠悠蒼天，曷其有常。
Su-su go the rows of the wild geese,
As they rest on the bushy mulberry trees.
The king's business must not be slackly discharged,
And [so] we cannot plant our rice and maize; -
How shalll our parents get food?
O thou distant and azure Heaven!
When shall we get [back] to our ordinary lot?
