Translated by H. Melvin Symmank
What yet adorns the young girl?
Her red cheeks, and her shining forehead:
That truly adorns the young girl.
What yet adorns the young girl?
Her green little diamond crown: and her silver little ring:
That truly adorns the young girl.
What distorts the young girl?
Her dirty hands, her dirty feet:
That distorts the young girl.
What distorts the young girl?
Her torn socks, and her confused head:
That distorts the young girl.
