  1. The Weather

    The signs of rain.
    The ashes blue
    The windows ratling,
    The dog eating grass,
    The car with his back to the fire,
    The wind blowing from the south,
    The crows flying low,
    The soot falling,
    A rain-bow in the sky.
    The curfews would be whistling,
    The Shannon roaring,
    The signs of fine weather.
    The walls damp. If there was a fog, If there sky was a bright blue colour.
    The signs of frost.
    The river would be roaring, There would be a whole lot of stars in the sky.
    If there was suckers in the sun.
    The signs of storm.
    The colours would be scattered.
    Signs of snow.
    The wind from the north, the birds coming in the house.
