The Book of Poetry, tr. by James Legge, [1876], at sacred-texts.com
V
The Tung MĂȘn Chih Yang; allusive. The failure of an assignation.
1Where grow the willows near the eastern gate,
  And âneath their leafy shade we could recline,
She said at evening she would me await,
  And brightly now I see the day star shine!
  And âneath their leafy shade we could recline,
She said at evening she would me await,
  And brightly now I see the day star shine!
2Here where the willows near the eastern gate
  Grow, and their dense leaves make a shady gloom,
She said at evening she would me await.
  See now the morning star the sky illume!
