于以采蘩,于沼于沚。 于以用之,公侯之事。 于以采蘩,于涧之中。 于以用之,公侯之宫。 被之僮僮,夙夜在公。 被之祁祁,薄言还归。
Where do we gather artemisia? In the marsh and on the islet. What are we using it for? The affairs of dukes and marquises. Where do we gather artemisia? In the stream. What are we using it for? The palaces of dukes and marquises. Clad in mourning clothes, they serve the public day and night. Clad in mourning clothes, they return home in haste.
