Heavy rain

The shepherd leaves his unprotected flock 
 
& flies for shelter in some scooping rock 
 
There hides in fear from the dread boding wrath 
 
Lest rocks shoud tremble when it sallies forth 
 
& that almighty power that bids it roar 
 
Has seald the doom when time shall be no more 
 
The cotters family cringe round the harth 
 
Where all is saddnd but the crickets mirth
