The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876]
2On the mound where grows the wheat,
There some one keeps Tzŭ-kuo;
There some one keeps Tzŭ-kuo:—
Why comes not he with me here to eat?
3On the mound plum trees have place.
There some one keeps those youths;
There some one keeps those youths:—
O for their chiu-stones girdle to grace!
