国风·陈 风·东门之池

东门之池，可以沤麻。彼美淑姬，可与晤歌。
东门之池，可以沤纻。彼美淑姬，可与晤语。
东门之池，可以沤菅。彼美淑姬，可与晤言。

To a Weaving Maiden'

At eastern gate we could
Steep hemp in river long.
O maiden fair and good,
To you I'll sing a song.
On poplars by east gate

At eastern gate we could
Steep nettle in the creek.
O maiden fair and good,
To you I wish to speak.

At eastern gate we could
Steep in the moat rush-rope.
O maiden fair and good,
On you I hang my hope.
