The Burning House

That night when I was asleep

the house which always used to weep

which always used to groan

that it could never become a home

which used to witness the fight

of the husband and wife.

That house was burning.

I was awakened by people's squeaking.

The husband somehow managed to escape

and was therefore safe.

But his wife was stuck inside.

For help she repeatedly cried.

Her wailing, 

aroused his dead feeling.

Without caring about his life

he went to save his wife.

Embracing his lady in his arm

he heroically saved her from fire's harm.

The love between husband and wife

was again revived

after house's sadful demise.

The house indeed gave a great sacrifice.
