帕布莉卡雄雉[1]
雄雉于飞，
泄泄[2]其羽。
我之怀矣，
自诒[3]伊阻[4]！
雄雉于飞，
下上其音。
展[5]矣君子，
实劳我心！
瞻彼日月，
悠悠我思！
道之云远，
曷云能来？
百尔[6]君子，
不知德行。
不忮[7]不求，
何用不臧[8]？
雄雉展翅飞远方，
拍拍翅膀真舒畅。
想念无止境，
独留空忧伤！
雄雉展翅飞远方，
上下翻飞自鸣唱。
诚实我君子，
牵挂心难放！
眼看日月向人催，
忧愁思念更悠长。
道路相隔太遥远，
何时回到我身旁？
所谓君子都一样，
没有道德与修养。
如若不妒且又不贪，
走到哪里都顺畅？

My Man in Service*[1]
The male pheasant in flight
Wings its way left and right.
O dear one of my heart!
We are so far apart.
See the male pheasant fly;
Hear his song low and high.
My man is so sincere.
Can I not miss him so dear?
Gazing at moon or sun,
I think of my dear one.
The way’s a thousand li.
How can he come to me?
If he is really good,
He will do what he should.
For nothing would he long.
Will he do anything wrong?
[1]A wife deplored the absence of her husband in service and celebrated his virtue.
