1. THE hollow winds begin to blow,

4, 5. The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
6. And spiders from their cobwebs peep.

8. The Moon in halos hid her head;
9. The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,

For, see, a rainbow spans the sky.
10. 11. The walls are damp, the ditches smell,
12. Clos'd is the pink-ey'd pimpernell.
13. Hark! how the chairs and tables crack,
14. Old Betty's joints are on the rack;

15, 16. Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry;
17. The distant hills are looking nigh.

18. How restless are the snorting swine,
19. The busy flies disturb the kine;
20. Low o'er the grass the swallow wings;
21, The cricket too, how sharp he sings:
