  1. When the hens are picking themselves.
    When the ducks are quacking loudly.
    When the cattle are sleeping and going mad with flies.
    When the insects are creeping along the wall and ground.
    When the spiders creep along the walls.
    When the sun rises red in the morning and when it goes down dim in the evening.
    When the stars are very thick in the sky.
    When the frogs are black.
    When the swallows are flying low.
    When the hills look nigh.
    When the soot falls down.
