The Ko Lei; allusive. A wanderer from Chou, separated from his kin, mourns over his lot.

1Around the creepers thickly spread,
  On the borders of the Ho.
My native soil no more I tread;
  Into exile forth I go.
    Far removed from kindred all,
    Father I a stranger call.
    Though so called, he does not brook,
    Kindly upon me to look.

2Around the creepers thickly spread,
  On the green banks of the Ho. p. 82
My native soil no more I tread;
  Into exile forth I go.
    Far removed from kindred all,
    Mother I a stranger call.
    Though so called, she does not deign
    Me as child to entertain.

3Around the creepers thickly spread,
  On the bank lips of the Ho.
My native soil no more I tread;
  Into exile forth I go.
    Far from all who bear my name,
    Elder brother I would claim
    In a stranger, but he spurns
    Such a claim, and from me turns.
