The shore is far from the sand, and the sun leans back. Peacocks feel sorry for their golden tails, and they won't be surprised if they can't recognize travelers when they are near the water.

In the distance along the river bank, the beach is flat, the sunset shines on the way home, and the sunset glow is brilliant on the way home. A peacock enjoys itself by the water's edge, and its emerald tail is colorful. Footsteps on the road seem to disturb it, but it still recognizes pedestrians.
