are all described in a very ordinary way and
in a simple language.

8. The poet says that the lake is glittering and
the green fields are sleeping in the sun.
Toiling farmers grazing cattle sail in clouds in
the blue sky, lively fountain and defeated
snow give as an almost banal description of
the advent of summer just after the
disappearance of summer.

the cattle without raising their heads and the

season of the year with its chillness and
stillness.
