《甲》Jia
甲木天干作首排，原无枝叶与根荄；
Jia wood is the first of the Heavenly stems, originally without twigs, leaves and roots
欲存天地千年久，直向沙泥万丈埋。
It desires to exists in heaven and earth thousands years old, planted straight into the sand and clay hundred thousands of feet.
断就栋樑金得用，化成灰炭火为灾；
Cut to become ridge pole metal gets to be used, to turn into ashes and charcoals fire as the disaster;
蠢然块物无机事，一任春秋自往来。
A stupid, natural block of thing really has no use, naturally, letting spring and autumn come
and go.
Implied meaning:
Both earth are useful for Jia,
In order to be successful, Metal should be used
When fire is too strong, health might have problem
Although seemingly useless, Jia could allow for longevity
《乙》Yi wood
乙木根荄种得深，只宜阳地不宜阴；
Yi wood has its root planted deep, only benefits from Yang land and not Yin.
漂浮最怕多逢水，刻断何当苦用金。
Drifting and floating it is afraid of too much meeting with water
南去火炎灾不浅，西行土重祸尤侵；
Going south fire and flame disaster is not shallow (strong disaster), going west heavy earth calamity is invading.
栋樑不是连根木，辨别工夫好用心。

Too many resources could be lonely or directionless

To many outputs is not beneficial
