  1. Good
    When the sea roars at Saleen
    When the smoke goes straight up
    Swallows flying high.
    A Rainbow at eventide.
    When goats are seen on top of the Bracket Rock / near Tara Hill Quarry.
    Bad.
    To hear a bell or a train from a distance
    When Tara Hill puts on its hood
    The Ahare River is sure to flood
    And when the wind from the south'ard do blow
    Its up the river the sea will go.
    The sea roaring at Duffcarrig.
    Midges flying low
    Smoke falling to the ground.
    Rats running across the road.
    The moon going down on her back.
    Sheep "mahing" at night.
    A Branch of cloud in the western sky.
    A cat sharpening her nails against wood.
