The kind of morning was inviting me with a warm arm.
So I decided to spend an hour doing almost (几乎) nothing,
Sitting and enjoying the best of what nature could bring.
Getting up from my chair, I thought I'd take a walk,
Then there was a bee that suddenly came to me for a talk.
There was a kind of music as the bee moved its wing,
Music so perfect that no one could ever sing.

Which was dancing among the flowers and then flying high.
My morning hour in the garden was very well spent,
And now I know what beauty and music really meant!
