- Bad Weather.
When the sea is roaring.
When the swallows fly low.
When the clouds are black.
When the hillslook near.
When the hollow winds blow.
When the rbon sings in a high tree.
When the noise of the train is very distinct.
When there is a circle round the moon.
When the moon is on her back.
When you see the hills of Scotland.
When the ducks quack liudly.
When the curlews are calling.
When goats come down from the mountains.
When the sheep gather into a flock.
When the seagulls alight on our land.
When the spiders commence a new web.
When the soot falls down the chimney.
Pink clouds in the sky denote wind.
Old sheep frisk about like young lambs.
The cattle go under the hedges.
