- The crows flying low. Sut falling from the chimney; Sea-gulls flying to the land. Spiders creeping from their cob-webs;
There is a little verse about signs of bad weather;-
The moon last night went pale to bed,
The sun was hallow hung her head, the sut falls down, and spannels sleep,
and spiders from their cob-webs creep.
