Song of the Man from Lord Gyu. (2)
From out of scattered sky material came the dome,
For the Man from Lord Gyu to come and live.
Woven from scattered earth material came the ranges,
For the Man from Lord Gyu to come and dwell.
5
The Man from Lord Gyu placed a saddle on the horse's back,
And the Man from Lord Gyu led out the companies of soldiers to climb,
To climb straight out of the Hmao-lu valley.
The Man from Lord Gyu led out the companies of soldiers to climb,
To climb directly out of the Hmao-lu, Hmao-gha valley.
10
The Man from Lord Gyu turned round and gazed,
Gazed at Gi-myu's gardens away to the south,
And the Man from Lord Gyu asked,
15
"Is the house of the Man from Lord Gyu, with its timber frame and tiled roof,
still there?"
But the people said,
"The house of the Man from Lord Gyu, with its timber frame and tiled roof, is
there no longer".
So the Man from Lord Gyu grieved,
Grieved for the Man from Lord Gyu's house, with its timber frame, its tiled roof
and copper studded doors.
The Man from Lord Gyu grieved for the Man from Lord Gyu's iron studded
doors.

25
For the house of the Man from Lord Gyu, with its timber frame and tiled roof,
faced,
Faced, with its circular doors, toward Gi-nzyu and the rising of the sun,
And the Man from Lord Gyu grieved for those circular doors set toward Ginzyu and the moon at its appearing.
But the people said,
"The house of the Man from Lord Gyu, with its timber frame and its tiled roof is
there no longer.
The house, with its timber frame and tiled roof, has become,
Has become just a heap of stones".
The people said,
"The house, with its timber frame and tiled roof, has become,
Has become just a heap of rocks”.
