- Bad Weather.
When the swallows fly low.
The sun goes down in a yellow cloud.
When the clouds are black.
If the hills look near.
When the hollow winds blow.
The robin sings up in a high tree.
If you hear the train making a great noise southward.
When there is a big circle round the moon
When you see the hills of Wales.
The cricket sings sharply.
When the goats come down from the mountains.
When the sea is roaring.
When the curlews are calling.
When the seagulls alight on dry land.
When the ducks quack loudly.
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.(continues on next page)
