后皇嘉树，橘徕服兮。受命不迁，生南国兮。深固难徙，更壹志兮。绿叶素荣，纷其可喜兮。曾枝剡棘，圆果抟兮。青黄杂糅，文章烂兮。精色内白，类任道兮，纷缊宜脩，姱而不丑兮。
嗟尔幼志，有以异兮。独立不迁，岂不可喜兮。 深固难徙，廓其无求兮。苏世独立，横而不流兮。闭心自慎，终不失过兮。秉德无私，参天地兮。
愿岁并谢，与长友兮。淑离不淫，梗其有理兮。年岁虽少，可师长兮。行比伯夷，置以为像兮。
To the Orange
Qu Yuan Heaven and earth have brought forth a noble tree—the orange, destined to grace this southern land. Deeply rooted, single-hearted, it is not to be moved. How it thrives here! Such verdant foliage spangled with snowy blossoms, a delight to the eye! Anon it bears fruit: glittering globes of green and gold on branches armed with spines; brilliant without, pure within, genial yet guarded, telling of a righteous life. A thousand charms it has, which nothing can mar. You—even as a sapling you were out of the common. It is gratifying that you have grown up to be independent and steadfast, striking root ever deeper in your native soil. You have cultivated a liberal mind, sober amidst universal intoxication, never swayed by vulgar prejudices, never tempted by selfish desire into wrong. Holding firm to virtue and justice, you are one with heaven and earth.
All else may pass away; let this kinship endure. O! youthful beauty, so temperate, upright and disciplined, you are the mentor. O! loyalty incarnate, example immortal, you will be constant inspiration to an aspiring soul.
