The song of the starlings speaks of heroic deeds
In the morning rain the heron does its laundry
In the night the lark worships the stars
Who sees the true nature of birds?

Sent:

The starling's song sings of adventurous deeds;
The heron washes its clothes in the gentle rain;
At night the lark prays to the stars;
But who can see into the heart of birds? 

Sent:

The song of a noisy bird - of greatnesses it is.
It's clothes in the dew the heron (tall bird) dips in and out.

But who sees [and understands] bird-ness? 

Sent:

The songs of a bird deal with great things.
The heron dips its clothing into the dew
And the lark worships the sky at twilight.
But who understands being a bird? 

Sent:

Birds' songs concerning important events
The Heron washes its clothes in the dew
And the Lark worships the sky in the evening.
But does anyone exist who understands birdhood?

Sent:

The song from the bird is about importance
A Heron's clothes clean with dew
A Lark religiously praises the sky at evening
But is the birdish way understood at all? 

Sent:

The bird's song deals with important things.
A heron's clothes are cleaned with dew.

But does nature really understand bird's sound/thoughts? 

Sent:

Important matters (the ones) the bird's song tells.
The heron's coat gets cleaned in dew.
With fearful respect the lark praises the evening sky.
But do the spirits (of nature) fully understand the bird's singing?

High things in song of bird
for coat of heron in dew a bathing
praises for night-sky in throat of lark
[this] hymn in ear of gods? 

Christophe didn't receive an English translation (or even an
interlinear), so had to do a Real Translator's (TM) job. He did get a
grammar sketch, the poem as above, and interlinear notes telling him
what cases the nouns were in. I was merciful in not giving him any
verbs to deal with. :^)

When the little bird sings with greatness,
When the "artist of the river" clears its feathers in the mist,
When the songbird glorifies the Even Star,
Maybe the "reigners" can hear their song.

Riverbird ruffles its feathers in the mist
Songbird glorifies night star
When rulers might hear song

The large bird shall sing a song of itself
This bird of the river's feathers shall dance,
     between the clouds of some ground, a dance of themselves
This song-bird shall speak of the night's awesome stars
Every king shall hear this song.
