小雅·鱼藻之什·渐渐之石

渐渐之石，维其高矣，山川悠远，维其劳矣。武人东征，不皇朝矣。
渐渐之石，维其卒矣，山川悠远，曷其没矣。武人东征，不皇出矣。
有豕白蹢，烝涉波矣，月离于毕，俾滂沱矣。武人东征，不皇他矣。
Eastern Expedition

The mountain frowns
With rocky crowns.
Peaks high,streams long,
Toilsome the throng.
Warriors east go;
No rest they know.

The mountain frowns
With craggy crowns.
Peaks high,streams bend.
When is the end?
Warriors go east.
When be released?

White-legged swines wade
Through streams and fade.
In Hyades the moon
Foretells hard rain soon.
Warriors east go;
No plaint they show.
