Are you still playing your flute: Practice

Answer the following questions based on this stanza.

Are you still playing your flute

In the village so quiet and deserted

Amidst the sick rice field

While here it has become a luxury

To spend time watching the rain

Gazing at the evening rays

Collecting dew drops

Or enjoying the fragrance of flowers.
