《关雎》节选关关雎鸠，在河之洲。
窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
By riverside are cooing,
A pair of turtle doves.
A good young man is wooing,
A fair maiden he loves.
《蒹葭》节选蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。
所谓伊人，在水一方。
Bright,bright the reed，
with frost dews blend.
Where is she l need,
at river's end.
《桃夭》节选桃之夭夭，灼灼其华。
之子于归，宜其室家。
The peach tree beams so red,
How brilliant are its flowers!
The maiden's getting wed,
Good for the nuptial bowers.
《击鼓》节选死生契阔，与子成说。
执子之手，与子偕老。
Meet or part, live or die;
We made oath,you and I.
When can our hands we hold
And live till we grow old?
《采葛》节选彼采葛兮，一日不见，如三月兮。
彼采萧兮，一日不见，如三秋兮。
To gather vine goes she, l miss her whom I do not see, one day seems longer than three months.
To gather reed goes she, l miss her whom l do not see, one day seems long as three seasons.
《木瓜》节选投我以木瓜，报之以琼琚。
匪报也，永以为好也！
She gave a quince to me;
I paid her back a stone.
Repayment it can’t be,
But a sign of love, love alone.
《风雨》节选风雨如晦，鸡鸣不已。
既见君子，云胡不喜。
Gloomy wind and rain blend;
The cocks crow without end.
When I have seen my dear,
How full I feel of cheer!
《无衣》节选岂曰无衣？与子同袍。
王于兴师，修我戈矛。与子同仇。
Are you not battle-dressed?
Let's share the plate for breast!
We shall go up the line.
Let's make your lances shine!
Your foe is mine.
《采薇》节选昔我往矣，杨柳依依。
今我来思，雨雪霏霏。
行道迟迟，载渴载饥。
我心伤悲，莫知我哀！
When I left here, Willows shed tear.
I come back now, Snow bends the bough.
Long, long the way; Hard, hard the day;
My grief overflows. Who knows? who knows?
《野有蔓草》节选野有蔓草，零露漙兮。
有美一人，清扬婉兮。
邂逅相遇，适我愿兮。
Across the field creeps grass,
On whose blades the dews gleam.
There comes a bonnie lass,
Whose watery eyes beam.
As this beauty I meet,
My heart feels fondly sweet.
