Danmei Society for the Egregious Misuse of Chinese Poetry and Literature

彼澤之陂、有蒲與荷。
有美一人、傷如之何。
寤寐無為、涕泗滂沱。

By the shores of that marsh,
There are rushes and lotus plants.
There is the beautiful lady; -
I am tortured for her, but what avails it?
Waking or sleeping, I do nothing;
From my eyes and nose the water streams.

彼澤之陂、有蒲與蕑。
有美一人、碩大且卷。
寤寐無為、中心悁悁。

By the shores of that marsh,
There are rushes and the valerian.
There is the beautiful lady;
Tall and large, and elegant.
Waking or sleeping, I do nothing;
My inmost heart is full of grief.

彼澤之陂、有蒲菡萏。
有美一人、碩大且儼。
寤寐無為、輾轉伏枕。

By the shores of that marsh,
There are rushes and lotus flowers.
There is the beautiful lady;
Tall and large, and majestic.
Waking or sleeping, I do nothing;
On my side, on my back, with my face on the pillow, I lie.
