    When the moorfowl goes up to the top of the hill.
    When the wind blows from the east.
    When the sky is bright and clear.
    When rays of light go up from the sun when she is setting.
    To see the sun setting red.
    When the robin sings on the top of a tree.
    When the swallows fly high.
    When there is a mist on the river.
    When bees come into the house.
    When the bat flys around at twilight.
