兰蕙化为刍。
Their timbers are regarded as mere snags.
贤者虽独悟，
The sages are alone to keep awake,
所困在群愚。
But they are hindered by fools of every make.
且各守尔分，
The sages had better yield to their own fate
勿复空驰驱。
And take no futile pains at any rate.
哀哉复哀哉，
Alas!
Heaven and earth benign!
此是命矣夫!
To the destined fate we must resign!
