    Closed in is pink eyed pimpernel,
    Oh hark! how the chairs and tables crack,
    Old Betty's joints are on the rack,
    T'is going to rain I see with sorrow
    We'll have to stay indoors to-morrow.

    There was a big storm the 13th February 1903. About one tree out of every twenty was left standing, and any house or shed that was not well secured was blown down.
    There were beautiful trees around Medelton and men offered twenty pounds for them.
