What is the whole poem of two orioles singing green willows?

Two orioles singing among the green willows: two orioles singing softly among the green willows, and a group of neat egrets heading straight for the blue sky. Sitting by the window, you can see the snow accumulated all the year round on Xiling Mountain, and ships from Dongwu, thousands of miles away, are parked in front of the door.

Source: From Du Fu's quatrains in Tang Dynasty.

The original poem is as follows:

"Two orioles sing green willows, and egrets cover the sky."

My window framed the snow-covered western hills. My door often says "goodbye" to ships sailing eastward.

Orioles and green willows present a lively atmosphere, while egrets and blue sky give people a calm and comfortable feeling. The word "song" indicates the bird's complacency. The word "Shang" shows the leisure and elegance of egrets. The alternating colors of yellow, green, white and blue show the beauty of spring and convey the poet's cheerful and comfortable mood.

Creation background

This group of poems was written in the spring of 764, the second year of Guangde, Tang Daizong. In the first year of Baoying, Tang Suzong (762), Chengdu Yin entered the DPRK, and turmoil occurred in Shu. Du Fu once avoided Zizhou (treating Santai in Sichuan). In the second year, the Anshi Rebellion was put down. A year later, Yanwu returned to Chengdu and went to Shu again.

Du Fu learned the news of this old friend and followed him back to Chengdu Caotang. At this time, Du Fu's mood was particularly comfortable. Faced with a vibrant scene, he couldn't help writing this group of impromptu poems. Du Yi of Wang Siyuan in the late Ming Dynasty said that this group of poems was "built after living in the thatched cottage, and it is planned to spend the rest of my life here, but I said so".
