A man sitting on a bed
Opposite the door
Is as large as a cuckoo,
A man sitting at the door
Is as large as a raven,

The front side is a secret stream,
The right side is a big alaas,
The back side is a small meadow,
Such a large dwelling

A nine-year old ox
Stalwart and huge
Kneeling in front of you.
