国风·卫风·竹竿

籊籊竹竿，以钓于淇。岂不尔思？远莫致之。
泉源在左，淇水在右。女子有行，远兄弟父母。
淇水在右，泉源在左。巧笑之瑳，佩玉之傩。
淇水滺滺，桧楫松舟。驾言出游，以写我忧。

A Lovesick Fisherman

With long rod of bamboo
I fish in River Qi.
Home, how long for you,
Far-off a thousand li!

At left the Spring flows on;
At right the River clear.
To wed they saw me gone
Leaving my parents dear.

The River clear at right,
At left the Spring flows on.
O my smiles beaming bright
And ringing gems are gone!

The long, long River flows
With boats of pine home-bound.
My boat along it goes.
O let my grief be drowned!
