  1. (continued from previous page)
    Ceo ar aibhnibh, comhartha soineann
    Ceo ar cnocaibh comhartha doineann
    When the hills appear near or the rocks glisten like a mirror in the sun rain is expected.
    The sky red to the east portends a heavy fall of snow.
    The sky red overhead portends rain and cold weather.
    The red sky along the horizon portends rain and storm
    If the sun goes down red it is a sign that the next say will be fine
    Cuirfidh an gaoth adtuaidh an bháisteach ar gcúl.
    Acht deireann an sean-fhochal
    Na creid feannóg, na creid feach dubh
    Ná briathra breige mná
    Mar pe moch mall éireóchas an grian
    Is mar is toil le Dia a bheidh an lá.
