Books referencing 《隰桑》 Library Resources
1 隰桑:
隰桑有阿、其葉有難。
既見君子、其樂如何。
Xi Sang:
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are luxuriant.
When I see the princely men,
How great is the pleasure!

2 隰桑:
隰桑有阿、其葉有沃。
既見君子、云何不樂。
Xi Sang:
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are glossy.
When I see the princely men,
How can I be other than glad?

3 隰桑:
隰桑有阿、其葉有幽。
既見君子、德音孔膠。
Xi Sang:
In the low, wet grounds, the mulberry trees are beautiful,
And their leaves are dark.
When I see the princely men,
Their virtuous fame draws them close [to my heart].

4 隰桑:
心乎愛矣、遐不謂矣。
中心藏之、何日忘之。
Xi Sang:
In my heart I love them,
And why should I not say so?
In the core of my heart I keep them,
And never will forget them.
