Names and ancestry open the journey. Fragrant plants express an ideal of character, while passing time turns self-cultivation toward concern for the road ahead.

One chapter opens into a long poem.

Ten chapters follow the poem in order, sharing an intimate, unhurried poetic-folk brief. Follow this chapter’s words, then compare how the next continues or changes direction. This reading guide does not certify every sung word or pronunciation.

Here, art-folk or poetic folk is an editorial description of folk-oriented songwriting meeting literary expression, not a fixed category with one required arrangement. Voice and arrangement directions do not certify a real performer or live instrumentation.

Read the lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 帝高陽之苗裔兮,朕皇考曰伯庸。 攝提貞於孟陬兮,惟庚寅吾以降。 皇覽揆余初度兮,肇錫余以嘉名。 名余曰正則兮,字余曰靈均。 紛吾既有此內美兮,又重之以脩能。 扈江離與辟芷兮,紉秋蘭以為佩。 [Verse 2] 汩余若將不及兮,恐年歲之不吾與。 朝搴阰之木蘭兮,夕攬洲之宿莽。 日月忽其不淹兮,春與秋其代序。 惟草木之零落兮,恐美人之遲暮。 不撫壯而棄穢兮,何不改乎此度? 乘騏驥以馳騁兮,來吾道夫先路。 [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] 昔三后之純粹兮,固衆芳之所在。 雜申椒與菌桂兮,豈維紉夫蕙茝? 彼堯舜之耿介兮,既遵道而得路。 何桀紂之猖披兮,夫唯捷徑以窘步。 惟夫黨人之偷樂兮,路幽昧以險隘。 豈余身之憚殃兮,恐皇輿之敗績。 [Instrumental Outro]
