A Dead Doe in the Wild

a dead doe in the wild
shrouded in white reeds

there is a girl, spring-longing
a gentleman to seduce her

shrubs are in the forest
a dead doe in the wild

wrap your gift in white reeds
there is a girl, jade-virtued

slowly, slowly – take your time…
do not lift my sash yet

do not cause the dog to bark.

Translated from Chinese Keith Griffith
