有弥济盈,有鷕雉鸣。
济盈不濡轨,雉鸣求起牡。
See the stream's water rise; / Hear female pheasant's cries. The stream wets not the axle straight; / The pheasant's calling for her mate.
雝雝鸣鴈,旭日始旦。
士如归妻,迨冰未泮。
Hear the song of wild geese; / See the sun rise in glee. Come before the streams freeze / If you will marry me.
招招舟子,人涉卬否。
人涉卬否,卬须我友。
I see the boatman row / Across but I will wait; With others I won’t go; / I will wait for my mate.
