  1. The hallow winds begin t blow.
    The clouds are black.
    The soot falls. The dogs sleep.
    The sun set pale. Circle round the moon.
    Old people corns pain them. Fish rise in the streams. Glow worms shine at night
    Dogs eat grass.
    Crows fly as if they were falling
    Cats sit on the hearth wiping their jaws.
