The harvest shall be great under the light of the ruin,
Even after brightness long past, let crops thrive in nature's doing,
Rejoice! As mother earth cares about the small and weak,
Pray to moon and sol, raise your hoe and spread your seeds,
Upon hurting nature, only that which is sown can later be reaped,
All hail the Temple of Growth,
The pillar of wealth and existence, both.
