The Classics Of Poems: E'ening Comes Around, It's E'ening! But You Ain't Returning Home, Why? 式微 式微 胡不歸 Poem by Frank Yue

"The Classics of Poems: National Verses:
Northern Songs": "E'ening Comes Around, It's E'ening"
-Translated by Frank C Yue

E'ening comes around, it's e'ening!
But you ain't returning home, why?
For the sake of our king,
Till it's dark we'll wait by the way-side.

E'ening comes around, it's e'ening!
But you ain't returning home, why?
For the sake of our king,
By toiling in the mud we abide.


【詩經】《國風 • 邶風 • 式微》


式微，式微！胡不歸？

微君之故，胡爲乎中露！

式微，式微！胡不歸？

微君之躬，胡爲乎泥中！
