When dew is
on the grass
rain will never
come to pass

is beautiful;
but as noodle says,
"we shall suffer
for this, sir,
by-and-by."
   -- Sydney Smith
   1771-1845
   Letter to
   Sir George Phillips
,

When leaves
show their undersides,
be very sure
that rain betides
    -- Anon.

 

Some are weatherwise,
some are otherwise.

The tempest's howl,
it soothes my soul,
my griefs
it seem to join;
the leafless trees
my fancy please,
their fate
resembles mine.
   -- Robert Burns
