PRAISE OF ORCHID
Alone stands the orchid,handsomely profound; Aroma above all else, far and beyond; Flows with flare, favors with no bound; Of sorrow should it be, unnoticed all along?
Days and years,wandering around like a vagabond, Words of wisdom Old King seeks, hence wise and strong; Beauty of tranquility for I am stunned, May Lord take me as thine ever belonged.
Blossomed is my wisdom for my Lord, Like orchid thriving under the cold; Everlasting shall my faith behold, Till generations of prosperity unfold.
幽蘭操
蘭之猗猗,揚揚其香. 眾香拱之, 幽幽其芳. 不采而佩,於蘭何傷? 以日以年,我行四方. 文王夢熊,渭水泱泱. 采而佩之, 奕奕清芳. 雪霜茂茂,蕾蕾於冬. 君子之守, 子孫之昌. |
