Are These Equivalent Grammatical Syntax? Chinese Grammar

I am studying many sources for Chinese grammar. I understand that literally these two sentences mean slightly different things. Are there any implications or reasoning for using one versus the other? The literal translations seem equivalent from an English language context (are they interchangeable or am I missing some refinement)?

Subject + Adverb of manner + Verb + Adverb of place

tā jìng jìng de tǎng zài cǎo di shǎng 

他静静地躺在草地上。

tā zài cǎo di shǎng jìng jìng de tǎng 

他在草地上静静地躺。

Strictly, they are not all the same.
The second one sounds some more poetic in Chinese.
But in daily life, you will say the first one to express the meaning,"he lies on the grass quietly", the second one may make you seems sort of strange.
