Weather & moorland rhymes
Liskeard Weather Rhyme
The South wind always brings fine weather, The North wind wet and cold together
The West wind always brings the rain, The East wind blows it back again.
If the sun in red should set,
The next day surely will be wet,
If the sun should set in grey,
The next will be a rainy day.
Moorland worker
Here's to the jolly furze-cutter,
Who does his work with ease,
He goes to work when he minds to,
And leaves off just when he please.
