东方未明，
颠倒衣裳。
颠之倒之，
自公召之。

东方未晞，
颠倒裳衣。
颠之倒之，
自公令之。

折柳樊圃，
狂夫瞿瞿。
不能辰夜，
不夙则莫。

A Tryst before Dawn

Before the east sees dawn,
You get up with dress upside down.
O upside down you put our gown,
For order comes from ducal crown.

Before the east is bright,
You take the left sleeve for the right.
You put in left sleeve your right arm,
For ducal order brings alarm.

Don't leave my garden fenced with willow trees!
Do not stare at my naked body, please!
You either come too late at night
Or leave me early in twilight.

(许渊冲译)
