桑樹是中華民族的靈魂樹，五千年前嫘祖採桑養蠶織絲，《詩經·小雅·隰桑》記載了三千年前華夏先輩在桑樹下詩歌傳情的美妙樂章，所訴暗戀心理每個人今生今世皆有體會，值此七夕之際獻出一版英譯詩體，應景之作七夕快樂！

《詩經·小雅·隰桑》
"Bible of Poetry - Minor Court Hymns - Low Spot Mulberry Tree"

隰桑有阿，
其葉有難。
既見君子，
其樂如何。
Mulberry tree in a sunken field is handsome,
with a leafy canopy so awesome.
When I get to see you, a noble,
that joy would be indescribable.

隰桑有阿，
其葉有沃。
既見君子，
云何不樂。
Mulberry tree in a sunken niche is gorgeous,
with a copious canopy so enormous.
When I get to see you, my beloved,
how could say I am not thrilled.

隰桑有阿，
其葉有幽。
既見君子，
德音孔膠。
Mulberry tree in a sunken patch is imposing,
with a deep canopy so mystifying.
When I get to see you, my dear,
your sticky voice must be music to my ear.

心乎愛矣，
遐不謂矣？
中心藏之，
何日忘之！
The true love that occupies your mind,
why not tell him upright.
Shall keep in the bottom of heart,
never will I let forget！
