菁菁者莪,在彼中沚。
既见君子,我心则喜。
菁菁者莪,在彼中陵。
Lush, lush grows northernwood / In the midst of the isle. Now we see our lord good, / Our faces beam with smile. Lush, lush grow southernwood / In the midst of the hill.
既见君子,锡我百朋。
泛泛杨舟,载沉载浮。
既见君子,我心则休。
Now we see our lord good, / He gives us shells at will. The boats of willow wood / Sink or swim east or west. Now we see our lord good, / Our heart can be at rest.
