And there is no sound but the

swish of water in the gullies

Jamaica winds

Lines 6 - 8The only sound that can be heard will be the

sound of water in the gullies ( ravine /

drains ) and the trees being struck by thestrong winds.

The surrounding is quiet as everyone stays

indoors to avoid the storm.

And the reaped canefields lie bare

and fallow to the sun
