- Puss on the hearth with her velvet paws sits wiping her whiskered jaws. That's a sign of rain.
The soot falls down, the spaniel sleeps the spider from his cobweb creeps. That is the sign of rain also. They dog so altered in his taste quit mutton bones on grass to feast. That is the sign of rain.
Loud quacks the ducks. The peacock cries. The distant hills are looking nigh. That's a sign of rain.
A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight. A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning. If the wagtail comes to the door or hops on the street. It's a sign of storm.
