Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood ,
In the midst of that large mound .
Since we see our noble lord ,
We rejoice , and he shows us all courtesy .

Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood ,
In the midst of that islet .
Since we see our noble lord ,
Our hearts are full of joy .

Luxuriantly grows the aster-southernwood ,
In the midst of that great height .
We see our noble lord ,
And he gives us a hundred sets of cowries .

It floats about , — the willow boat ,
Now sinking , now rising again .
Since we see our noble lord ,
Our hearts are at rest .
