The Book of Poetry: Book II. The Odes of Shao and the South: X. Hsiao Hsing
The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2 Behold those starlets small,
Orion and the Pleiads bright!
Swiftly we came as failed the light,
And here brought to the hall
Our coverlets and sheets. Now we return,
Nor our inferior lot presume to mourn.
