  1. Signs of Storm.
    When crows fly wildly to their nests.
    When wild ducks fly in form of Y.
    When wild geese fly towards Scotland.
    When sea-gulls assemble on the land.
    When crows try to fly against the wind.
    When we hear the river plainly at night
    When the night is a little bright.
    When the sun is red when sinking.
    When clouds move swiftly.
    When there is a draught from the door.
    When chilblains itch.
    When the cat begins to scrape wood.
    When there is a small breeze on a bright night.
