There is a solitary russet pear tree, Growing on the left of the way. That princely man there! He might be willing to come to me. In the centre of my heart I love him, [But] how shall I supply him with drink and food?
有杕之杜、生于道周。 彼君子兮、噬肯來遊。 中心好之、曷飲食之。
There is a solitary russet pear tree, Growing where the way makes a compass. That princely man there! He might be willing to come and ramble [with me]. In the centre of my heart I love him, [But] how shall I supply him with drink and food?
