    To see a clear sky.
    Hills appear to be far away.
    To see the swallows flying high.
    To see the sun going down red.
    To see the lark soaring high early in the morning.
    To see the sky bright and high.
    To see the crows flying high in the sky.
    To see two magpies together on the road before you.
    To see the smoke going up straight from the chimney.
    To see a reddish colour in the sky.
    To see the spider spinning a long web.
    To see the dew on the grass in the morning.
    To hear the jack Snipe singing in the night.
    To see young lambs jumping about.
    To see a red colour in the sky.
    To see a fog in the morning.
    When the weather-glass is high.
    When the mountains appear to be far away.
    When the sun rises pale and sets red.
    To see the swallows perch on the tops of houses.
    To see the moon very plain.
