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
