In the low wet grouds is the carambola tree; Soft and pliant are its branches, With the glossiness of tender beauty. I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without consciousness.
隰有萇楚、猗儺其華。 夭之沃沃、樂子之無家。
In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree; Soft and delicate are its flowers, With the glossiness of its tender beauty. I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a family.
隰有萇楚、猗儺其實。 夭之沃沃、樂子之無室。
In the low, damp grounds is the carambola tree; Soft and delicate is its fruit, With the glossiness of its tender beauty. I should rejoice to be like you, [O tree], without a household.
