It opens
静女其姝，
俟我于城隅。
爱而不见，
搔首踟蹰。 'The quiet girl is lovely; she waits for me at the corner of the wall. She hides and does not show herself, and I scratch my head and pace about.' Later she gives him a red reed pipe and a shoot of grass from the pasture, and he treasures the grass because of who gave it. It is one of the 19 poems in the
邶风 section.
