素冠

庶見素冠兮。
棘人欒欒兮。
勞心慱慱兮。
庶見素衣兮。
我心傷悲兮。
聊與子同歸兮。
庶見素韡兮。
我心蘊結兮。
聊與子如一兮。

SU GUAN

If I could but see the white cap,
And the earnest mourner worn to leanness! --
My toiled heart is worn with grief!
If I could but see the white [lower] dress! --
My heart is wounded with sadness!
I should be inclined to go and live with the wearer!
If I could but see the white knee-covers! --
Sorrow is knotted in my heart!
I should almost feel as of one soul with the wearer!
