詩經國風之召南：

　　喓喓草蟲、趯趯阜螽

　　未見君子、憂心忡忡。

　　亦既見止、亦既覯止、我心則降。

　　陟彼南山、言采其蕨。

　　未見君子、憂心惙惙。

　　亦既見止、亦既覯止、我心則說。

　　陟彼南山、言采其薇。

　　未見君子、我心傷悲。

　　亦既見止、亦既覯止、我心則夷。

　　yao-yao went the grass-insects ,

　　and the hoppers sprang about .

　　while i do not see my lord ,

　　my sorrowful heart is agitated .

　　let me have seen him ,

　　let me have met him ,

　　and my heart will then be stilled .

　　i ascended that hill in the south ,

　　and gathered the turtle-foot ferns .

　　while i do not see my lord ,

　　my sorrowful heart is very sad .

　　let me have seen him ,

　　let me have met him ,

　　and my heart will then be pleased .

　　i ascended that hill in the south ,

　　and gathered the thorn-ferns .

　　while i do not see my lord ,

　　my sorrowful heart is wounded with grief .

　　let me have seen him ,

　　let me have met him ,

　　and my heart will then be at peace .
