1 菁菁者莪:
菁菁者莪、在彼中阿。
既見君子、樂且有儀。

Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood,
In the midst of that large mound.
Since we see our noble lord,
We rejoice, and he shows us all courtesy.

菁菁者莪、在彼中沚。
既見君子、我心則喜。

Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood,
In the midst of that islet.
Since we see our noble lord,
Our hearts are full of joy.

3 菁菁者莪:
菁菁者莪、在彼中陵。
既見君子、錫我百朋。
Jing Jing Zhe E:
Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood,
In the midst of that great height.
We see our noble lord,
And he gives us a hundred sets of cowries.

4 菁菁者莪:
汎汎楊舟、載沉載浮。
既見君子、我心則休。
Jing Jing Zhe E:
It floats about, - the willow boat,
Now sinking, now rising again.
Since we see our noble lord,
Our hearts are at rest.
