    -ally it rains the day after.
    It is a sign of rain when the soot falls down the chimney
    When they wanted to travel to someplace, and this happened on the night before they started on their journey they crooned a lament.
    "The soot falls down"
    The spaniels sleep.
    The spiders from their cobwebs creep.
    Last night the sun went pale to bed.
    The moon in hollow hid her head.
    The clouds look low
    The sky is black
    'Twill surely rain
    I see with sorrow
    Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow."
