Description:In seventh moon Fire Star west goes;In ninth we make dresses all day long.By and by warm spring growsAnd golden orioles sing their song.The lasses take their baskets deepAnd go along the small pathwaysTo gather tender mulberry leaves in heapWhen lengthen the vernal days,They pile in heaps the southernwood,Their heart in gloomy mood,For they will say adieu to maidenhood.The Book of Songs, also known as the Confucian Odes, is one of the main pillars of the Chinese classical literary canon.
