關睢 GUAN SUI

This is what I found in website, it's another version for Chinese essay, very interesting.

關關雎鳩、在河之洲。窈宨淑女、君子好逑。
參差荇菜、左右流之。窈宨淑女、寤寐求之。
求之不得、寤寐思服。悠哉悠哉、輾轉反側。
參差挾獢、左右采之。窈宨淑女、琴瑟友之。
參差荇菜、左右芼之。窈宨淑女、 鍾鼓樂之。
Guan-guan go the ospreys ,
On the islet in the river .
The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
For our prince a good mate she .

Here long , there short , is the duckweed ,
To the left , to the right , borne about by the current .
The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
Waking and sleeping , he sought her .
He sought her and found her not ,
And waking and sleeping he thought about her .
Long he thought ; oh ! long and anxiously ;
On his side , on his back , he turned , and back again .

Here long , there short , is the duckweed ;
On the left , on the right , we gather it .
The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
With lutes , small and large , let us give her friendly welcome .
Here long , there short , is the duckweed ;
On the left , on the right , we cook and present it .
The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
With bells and drums let us show our delight in her .
