The crepe myrtle beside the bird-bath explodes into Roman candles of bloom and showers of rosy blossoms fall hour after hour into the water, so that the red-birds and doves and mockingbirds emerge covered with flowers from their bathing.

鸟浴池旁的紫薇绽放成罗马盛开的烛光，阵阵玫瑰色的花朵一小时又一小时地落入水中，因此红鸟、鸽子和反舌鸟从沐浴后全身覆盖着花朵出现。
