Mouse-ear
采采卷耳,
不盈頃筐。
嗟我懷人,
寘彼周行。
I pick and pick mouse-ear
But can't my basket load.
Sick for my husband dear,
I leave it by the road.
陟彼崔嵬,
我馬虺隤。
我姑酌彼金罍,
維以不永懷。
The mountain is too steep
For my thin horse to climb.
I pour wine and drink deep
To kill care for a time.
陟彼高岡,
我馬玄黃。
我姑酌彼兕觥,
維以不永傷。
The mound ahead stands up;
My horse cowers nearby.
I fill my rhino cup
To relieve a sad sigh.
陟彼砠矣,
我馬瘏矣,
我仆痡矣,
云何吁矣。
The rock afore stands stout;
My horse sways left and right,
And my servant's worn out.
How can I pass my blight?
