蒹葭蒼蒼、白露為霜。
所謂伊人、在水一方。
溯洄從之、道阻且長.
溯游從之、宛在水中央。
The reeds and rushes are deeply green,
And the white dew is turned into hoarfrost.
The man of whom I think,
Is somewhere about the water.
I go up the stream in quest of him,
But the way is difficult and long.
I go down the stream in quest of him,
And lo! he is right in the midst of the water.
