2. The earth is full of poetry.
In a hot summer, birds hide
themselves.

3. Only the grasshopper sings in a hot
summer season.

hot summer, he rests beneath
some pleasant weed.

a shrill sound of cricket is heard.

8. To a drowsing person, the cricket’s
shrill cry appears to be a
grasshopper’s whir.
