When the storm is going to blow
The trawlers to the harbour go
When the sun sets very red
She is sure to rise from a watery bed. If the robin in the top branch sing,
To-morrow, sunshine, is sure to bring. The cat sits, and with her paw her ears wash,
The storm soon will break and crash. The moon encircled in a large dome,
Means that rain and wind in a day will come When the sheep, from the hill-tops to the lowlands go
The wind from the north is sure to blow. The smoke from the chimney straight up doth go
Rain is near at hand I know.(continues on next page)
