Are you still playing your flute: Practice

Answer the following questions based on this stanza.

Are you still playing the 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.
In the village so quiet and deserted
Amidst the sick rice field
While here it has become a luxury
