|
Amidst the fretted waters, |
|
The white rocks stand up grandly. |
|
Bringing a robe of white silk, with a vermillion collar, |
|
We will follow you to Wo. |
|
When we have seen the princely lord, |
|
Shall we not rejoice? |
|
Amidst the fretted waters, |
|
The white rocks stand glistening. |
|
Bringing a robe of white silk, with a vermillion collar, and embroidered, |
|
We will follow you to Hu. |
|
When we have seen the princely lord, |
|
What sorrow will remain to us? |
|
Amidst the fretted waters, |
|
The white rocks clearly show. |
|
We have heard your orders, |
|
And will not dare to inform any one of them. |
