小编导读：《国风·魏风·园有桃》是周代著名文学作品《诗经》中的诗歌。这首诗以四言为主，杂以三言、五言和六言，句法参差，确如姚际恒所说：“诗如行文。”（《诗经通论》）押韵位置两章诗相同，前半六句韵脚在一、二、四、六句末；后半六句换韵，韵脚在七、八、十、十一、十二句末，并且十、十一两句重复，哀思绵延，确有“长歌当哭”的味道。

《诗经--国风·魏风·园有桃》

园有桃，其实之肴。
心之忧矣，我歌且谣。
不知我者，谓我士也骄。
彼人是哉！子曰何其？
心之忧矣，有谁知之？
有谁知之？盖亦勿思。

园有棘，其实之食。
心之忧矣，聊以行国。
不知我者，谓我士也罔极。
彼人是哉！子曰何其？
心之忧矣，有谁知之？
有谁知之？盖亦勿思。

Fruit of peach tree
Is used as food.
It saddens me
To sing and brood.
Who knows me not
Says I am proud.
He's right in what?
Tell me aloud.
I'm full of woe,
My heart would sink.
But who would know?
No one will think.

Of garden tree
I eat the date.
It saddens me
To roam the state.
Who knows me not
Says I am queer.
He's right in what?
O let me hear!
I'm full of woe,
My heart would sink.
But who would know?
No one will think.
