《诗经·唐风·扬之水》
扬之水，白石凿凿。
素衣朱襮，从子于沃。
既见君子，云何不乐？
扬之水，白石皓皓。
素衣朱绣，从子于鹄。
既见君子，云何其忧？
扬之水，白石粼粼。
我闻有命，不敢以告人。
Stream Water Runs Clearly
Stream water runs clearly.
The stream bed glitters with white pebbles.
There is Mr. Pan with a red collared white shirt.
I will follow him to Wo, where I can see my Lord Heng-shu.
I am, of course, elated.
The stream bed sparkles with white pebbles.
The stream bed is jeweled with white pebbles.
I have a secret message for my Lord Heng-shu.
I can tell no one else.
