Bamboo shadows cover the hidden windows,

Every two days at sunset, birds make sounds.

Xie Que Haitang flies to the end,

The sleepy weather is getting longer and longer.

[Note] (1) Scene: the scene in front of you. This is a poem about the scenery in front of you. (2) Seasonal birds: migratory birds such as swallows. Bamboo is swaying in the breeze, elegant tree shadows cover the quiet windows, and pairs of migratory birds are flying in the sunset, which is noisy. Begonia flowers have withered and catkins have fallen. The sleepy early summer has arrived, and the days are getting longer and longer.
