子衿 诗经

青青子衿,悠悠我心。 纵我不往,子宁不嗣音。 青青子佩,悠悠我思。 纵我不往,子宁不来。 挑兮达兮,在城阙兮。 一日不见,如三月兮。

My loved one, your collar (literal translation)

Green are your collars, so dear to my heart. Though I do not go to you, will you not send me a message? Green are your jade pendants, so dear to my thoughts. Though I do not go to you, will you not come to me? I look for you, I gaze at you, at the city gate. A day without seeing you is like three months.
