10.  汝墳  ru fen
遵彼汝墳、伐其條枚。
未見君子、惄如調飢。
 
遵彼汝墳、伐其條肆。
既見君子、不我遐棄。
 
魴魚赬尾、王室如燬 。
雖則如燬、父母孔邇 。
 
along those raised banks of the ru ,
i cut down the branches and slender stems .
while i could not see my lord ,
i felt as it were pangs of great hunger .
 
along those raised banks of the ru ,
i cut down the branches and fresh twigs .
i have seen my lord ;
he has not cast me away .
 
the bream is showing its tail all red ;
the royal house is like a blazing fire .
though it be like a blazing fire ,
your parents are very near .
