蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷。 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
彼方淑女，凭君寄辞。 Remember me to one who lives there.
伊人曾在，与我相知。 She once was a true love of mine.
嘱彼佳人，备我衣缁。 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.
蕙兰芫荽，郁郁香芷。 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme.
勿用针砧，无隙无疵。 Without no seams nor needle work.
伊人何在，慰我相思。 Then she will be a true love of mine.
