QIU ZHONG YOU MA

On the mound where is the hemp,
Some one is detaining Zijie.
Some one is there detaining Zijie; --
Would that he would come jauntily [to me]!
On the mound where is the wheat,
Some one is detaining Ziguo.
Some one is there detaining Ziguo; --
Would that he would come and eat with me!
On the mound where are the plum trees,
Some one is detaining those youths.
Some one is there detaining those youths; --
They will give me Jiu-stones for my girdle.
