終朝采綠、不盈一匊。
予發(fā)曲局、薄言歸沐。
終朝采藍(lán)、不盈一擔(dān)。
五日為期、六日不儋。
我不見兮、我心不說。
彼都人士、充耳琇實(shí)。
彼君子女、謂之尹吉。
我不見兮、我心苑結(jié)。
彼都人士、垂帶而厲。
彼君子女、卷發(fā)如蠆。
我不見兮、言從之邁。
匪伊垂之、帶則有余。
匪伊卷之、發(fā)則有旟。
我不見兮、云何盱矣。

All the morning I gather the king-grass ，
And do not collect enough to fill my hands .
My hair is in a wisp ； ——
I will go home and wash it .
All the morning I gather the indigo plant ，
And do not collect enough to fill my apron .
Five days was the time agreed on ； ——
It is the sixth ， and I do not see him .
When he went a hunting ，
I put the bow in its case for him .
When he went to fish ，
I arranged his line for him .
What did he take in angling ？
Bream and tench ； ——
Bream and tench ，
While people [looked on] to see .
