郭震·《莲花》英译

脸腻香薰似有情，世间何物比轻盈。

湘妃雨后来池看，碧玉盘中弄水晶。

Lotus

Guo Zhen

Seemingly, she is affectionate and sentimental with soft and aromatic countenance.

Which creature in the early world can match this very floret in lissomness, slimness, and elegance?

The Princess Xiang fares hither to appreciate her in the pond after the shower,

Fondling with the crystal in the jasper plate with her slender finger.
