《隰有苌楚 - Xi You Chang Chu》

 English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
1 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其枝。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无知。
Xi You Chang Chu:
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.

2 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其华。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无家。
Xi You Chang Chu:
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.

3 隰有苌楚:
隰有苌楚、猗傩其实。
夭之沃沃、乐子之无室。
Xi You Chang Chu:
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.
