A Wife Consoled By Her Husband's Arrival

Cold is the wind, fast falls the rain,

The cock aye shrilly crows.

But I have seen my lord again;--

Now must my heart repose.

Whistles the wind, patters the rain,

The cock's crow far resounds.

But I have seen my lord again,

And healed are my heart's wounds.

by Confucius Confucius

A Love-Song

The moon comes forth, bright in the sky;

A lovelier sight to draw my eye

Is she, that lady fair.

She round my heart has fixed love's chain,

But all my longings are in vain.

'Tis hard the grief to bear.

The moon comes forth, a splendid sight;

More winning far that lady bright,

by Confucius Confucius

A Eunuch Complains Of His Fate

A few fine lines, at random drawn,

Like the shell-pattern wrought in lawn

To hasty glance will seem.

My trivial faults base slander's slime

Distorted into foulest crime,

And men me worthless deem.

A few small points, pricked down on wood,

May be made out a picture good

by Confucius Confucius

Anxiety Of A Young Lady To Get Married

Ripe, the plums fall from the bough;

Only seven-tenths left there now!

Ye whose hearts on me are set,

Now the time is fortunate!

Ripe, the plums fall from the bough;

Only three-tenths left there now!

Ye who wish my love to gain,

Will not now apply in vain!

by Confucius Confucius

Praise Of A Rabbit-Catcher

Careful he sets his rabbit-nets all round;

_Chang-chang_ his blows upon the pegs resound.

Stalwart the man and bold! his bearing all

Shows he might be his prince's shield and wall.

Careful he is his rabbit-nets to place

Where many paths of rabbits' feet bear trace.

Stalwart the man and bold! 'tis plain to see

He to his prince companion good would be.

by Confucius Confucius

The Virtuous Manners Of The Young Women

High and compressed, the Southern trees

No shelter from the sun afford.

The girls free ramble by the Han,

But will not hear enticing word.

Like the broad Han are they,

Through which one cannot dive;

And like the Keang's long stream,

Wherewith no raft can strive.

by Confucius Confucius

A Picture Of Husbandry

Various the toils which fields so large demand!

We choose the seed; we take our tools in hand.

In winter for our work we thus prepare;

Then in the spring, bearing the sharpened 'share,

We to the acres go that south incline,

And to the earth the different seeds consign.

Soon, straight and large, upward each plant aspires;--

All happens as our noble lord desires.

by Confucius Confucius

The Master said

The Master said,

"It is by the Odes that the mind is aroused."

It is by the Rules of Propriety that the character is established.

"It is from Music that the finish is received."

The Master said,

"The people may be made to follow a path of action,

but they may not be made to understand it.

by Confucius Confucius

The Value Of Friendship

The woodmen's blows responsive ring,

As on the trees they fall;

And when the birds their sweet notes sing,

They to each other call.

From the dark valley comes a bird,

And seeks the lofty tree.

_Ying_ goes its voice, and thus it cries,

"Companion, come to me."

by Confucius Confucius

Men of Superior Mind

Men of superior mind busy themselves first getting at the root of things; when

they succeed, the right course is open to them.

by Confucius Confucius

To Govern

To govern simply by statute and to maintain order by means of penalties is to

render the people evasive and devoid of a sense of shame.

by Confucius Confucius

Trysting Time

A pretty girl at time o' gloaming

Hath whispered me to go and meet her

Without the city gate.

I love her, but she tarries coming.

Shall I return, or stay and greet her?

I burn, and wait.
