《樂府·咄唶歌》 佚名
棗下何攢攢!
榮華各有時。
棗欲初赤時,
人從四邊來。
棗適今日賜,
誰當仰視之!
Song of the Dates
Look at the crowd who pick the dates!
Each fruit has spent its prime of life.
When dates are on the way to ripe,
The people rush to them in strife.
When dates are gone in autumn breeze,
No one will ever raise their eyes at trees!
