- (continued from previous page)22 Swallows flying low.
23. Bats flying low.
24. Dogs barking when sleeping.
25. Soot falling from the chimney.
26 Black snails in great numbers.
27 Goat's hair in the sky.
28 Clegs biting.
29 A frost going up in the morning.
30 When the fir cone closes.
31 A red sky in the morning,
Is the shepherd's warning.
32 When the peacock loudly bawls,
Then we'll both have rain and squalls.
33. When the glow-worm lights her lamp,
Then the air is always damp.
34 A marly sky,
Never long wet,
Never long dry.
