IE hollow winds begin to blow.
Tho clouds look block. the glass Is low,
The SCOT falls down. the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs creep.
Last night ths sun went pale to bed.
The moon in halos hid her head.
The boding shepherd heaves sigh,
For seer 4 rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are dnmp. the bitches smell.
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
Hark! how the chairs and tables crack
Old Betty's joints are on the rack.
