湘君
君不行兮夷犹，
蹇谁留兮中洲；
美要眇兮宜修，
沛吾乘兮桂舟；
令沅湘兮无波，
使江水兮安流；
望夫君兮未来，
吹参差兮谁思；
驾飞龙兮北征，
“覃”吾道兮洞庭；
薜荔柏兮蕙绸，
荪“挠”兮兰旌；
望涔阳兮极浦，
横大江兮扬灵； 
扬灵兮未极，
女婵媛兮为余太息； 
横流涕兮潺“爰”，
隐思君兮“诽”侧；
桂“擢”兮兰“世”，
“囗”冰兮积雪；
采薜荔兮水中，
搴芙蓉兮木末；
心不同兮媒劳，
恩不甚兮轻绝；
石濑兮浅浅，
飞龙兮翩翩；
交不忠兮怨长，
期不信兮告余以不闲；
朝骋骛兮江皋，
夕弭节兮北渚； 
鸟次兮屋上，
水周兮堂下；
捐余“决”兮江中，
遗余佩兮醴浦；
采芳洲兮杜若，
将以遗兮下女；
时不可兮再得，
聊逍遥兮容与。
To The Lord Of River Xiang
Why don't you come, still hesitating?
For Whom on midway isle are you waiting?
Fair and duly adorned, I float
On rapid stream my cassia boat.
I bid the waves more slowly go
And the river tranquilly flow.
I wait for you who have not come;
Playing my flute, with grief I'm numb.
In dragon boat for north I make
And zigzag to Dongting Lake.
Ivy behind, lotus before,
Orchid for flag, cedar for oar,
I gaze on the lake's farthest side;
My soul can't cross the river wide.
Across the river I can't fly;
For my distress my handmaids sigh.
My tears stream down and slowly flow;
Longing for you, I hide my woe.
with orchid rudder and cassia oar,
I break the ice and snow before,
As plucking ivy from the stream
Or lotus from trees in a dream.
The go-between cannot unite
Two divided hearts whose love is light,
As on a shallow stream can't float
ven a winged dragon boat.
Faithless, you are deceiving me;
Breaking our tryst, you say you're not free.
At dawn I drive my cab by riverside;
At eve on nothern isle I stop my ride.
Under the eaves the birds repose;
Around the house the river flows.
I throw in water my jade rings
And cast away my offerings.
I pluck sweet flowers on the isle
And give them to maids poor but not vile.
Lost time cannot be found again;
From thinking of you I'd refrain.
