逍遥独延伫。
兰蕙缘清渠,
I stand alone with a vacant pensive mind. As fragrant orchids line the lucid brook,
繁华荫绿渚。
佳人不在兹,
Green banks are strewn with blooms of every kind. Since my dear love does not stay with me here,
取此欲谁与?
巢居知风寒,
To whom shall I present the flowers all? Birds in nests face chilly winds in fear,
穴处识阴雨。
不曾远别离,
And beasts in caves know heavy rains that fall. If we had not lived far, far apart,
安知慕侍侣!
How could we know that we are heart to heart?
