《下泉 - Xia Quan》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 下泉:
冽彼下泉、浸彼苞稂。
愾我寤嘆、念彼周京。
Xia Quan:
Cold come the waters down from that spring,
And overflow the bushy wolf's-tail grass,
Ah me! I awake and sigh,
Thinking of that capital of Zhou.

2 下泉:
冽彼下泉、浸彼苞蕭。
愾我寤嘆、念彼京周。
Xia Quan:
Cold come the waters down from that spring,
And overflow the bushy southernwood,
Ah me! I awake and sigh,
Thinking of that capital of Zhou.

3 下泉:
冽彼下泉、浸彼苞蓍。
愾無寤歎、念彼京師。
Xia Quan:
Cold come the waters down from that spring,
And overflow the bushy divining plants,
Ah me! I awake and sigh,
Thinking of that capital-city.

4 下泉:
芃芃黍苗、陰雨膏之。
四國有王、郇伯勞之。
Xia Quan:
Beautifully grew the fields of young millet,
Enriched by fertilizing rains.
The States had their sovereign,
And there was the chief of Xun to reward their princes.
