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，于蘭何傷? 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.
