Biao You Mei - 摽有梅
Odes of Zhao and the South (召南)
Poem in chinese characters with pinyin and explanation in chinese.
Biao You Mei Dropping are the fruits from the plum-tree ; There are [but] seven [tenths] of them left ! For the gentlemen who seek me , This is the fortunate time ! Dropping are the fruits from the plum-tree ; There are [but] three [tenths] of them left ! For the gentlemen who seek me , Now is the time . Dropt are the fruits from the plum-tree ; In my shallow basket I have collected them . Would the gentlemen who seek me [Only] speak about it ! English translation : James Legge
