Ecclesiastes 12:4

When the doors to the street [the mouth] are closed.
When the sound of the mill is muffled.
[The doors may refer to the mouth or lips being closed; the result is that one loses contact with society. The mouth is likened to a mill, but the teeth are gone, and there is no longer any sound when chewing.]
When one wakes up when the birds begin to chirp [is easily awakened and wakes up early].
When the birdsong is muffled [hearing deteriorates].
