Fine Apricot Lodge

 Fine apricot cut for roofbeam 
Fragrant cogongrass tie for eaves 
Not know ridgepole in cloud 
Go make people among rain 

Fine apricot was cut for the roofbeam, 
Fragrant cogongrass tied for the eaves. 
I know not when the cloud from this house 
Will go to make rain among the people.
