  1. (continued from previous page)
    If the peacock is crying tis a sign of rain
    If the wild geese fly north tis a sign of sun
    If the dog eats grass tis a sign of bad weather
    If you see a fog on the river tis a sign of good weather
    If the wind blows from Ballyraggett tis a sign of wet weather
    If the blackbird sings merrily tis a sign of fine weather
    If the sheep run up a hill tis a sign of rain.
