Bathed in this babble of birdsong, if one looks out from the Martyrs 'Shrine towards the far-off Kuantu Plain one can see white egrets flying lazily over paddy fields. The poet's lines, "Man tills, woman weaves, life is peaceful, / Orioles sing brightly among spring grasses and trees," could have been describing the scene at the little town of Tanshui.
鶯聲燕語中，從忠烈祠遠眺關渡平原，白鷺徐徐飛過稻田，詩人筆下「男耕女織好安穩，清囀黃鸝草木春」的風光，彷彿形容的就是淡水小城。
