辛夷车兮结桂旗

被石兰兮带杜衡

折芳馨兮遗所思
her cloak made of orchids and her girdle of azalea,
余处幽篁兮终不见天
calling sweet flowers for those dear in her heart.
路险难兮独后来
"i live in a bamboo grove, the sky unseen;
表独立兮山之上
the road hither is steep and dangerous; i arrive alone and late.
云容容兮而在下

杳冥冥兮羌昼晦

the man in the mountain, fragrant with sweet herb,
君思我兮然疑作
