桃夭《诗经》

桃之夭夭，灼灼其华。之子于归，宜其室家。

桃之夭夭，有蕡[fén]其实。之子于归，宜其家室。

桃之夭夭，其叶蓁蓁[zhēn]。之子于归，宜其家人。

The Newly-Wed

The peach tree beams so red, 
How brilliant are its flowers!

The maiden’s getting wed,
Good for the nuptial bowers.

The peach tree beams so red;
How plentiful its fruit!

The maiden’s getting wed;
She’s the family’s root.

The peach tree beams so red;
Its leaves are lush and green.

The maiden’s getting wed;
On household she’ll be keen.
