How the water bubbles up from that spring ,
And flows away to the Qi !
My heart is in Wei ;
There is not a day I do not think of it .
Admirable are those , my cousins ;
I will take counsel with them .

When I came forth , I lodged in Ji ,
And we drank the cup of convoy at Ni .
When a young lady goes [to be married] ,
She leaves her parents and brothers ;
[But] I would ask for my aunts ,
And then for my elder sister .

I will go forth and lodge in Gan,
And we drink the cup of convoy at Yan .
I will grease the axle and fix the pin ,
And the returning chariot will proceed .
Quickly shall we arrive in Wei ; —
But would not this be wrong ?

I think of the Feiquan ,
I am ever sighing about it .
I think of Xu and Cao ,
Long , long , my heart dwells with them .
Let me drive forth and travel there ,
To dissipate my sorrow .
