WEATHER RHYMES. IF New Year's Eve night wind blow south, If west, much milk, and fish in the sea; If north, much cold and storms there will be; ALL the months of the year IF Candlemas day be dry and fair, If Candlemas day be wet and foul, H WEATHER RHYMES-continued. MARCH borrowed from April Three days, and they were ill; The first of them was wind and weet, The second of them was snow and sleet, The third of them was such a freeze It froze the birds' nebs to the trees. APRIL showers Make May flowers. WHEN April blows his horn, MIST in May, and heat in June, THE evening red, and the morning grey, If the cock crows on going to bed, A RAINBOW in the morning Is the shepherd's delight. And sending their feathers here away, there away. SNAIL, snail, shoot out your horn, And tell us if it will be a bonny day the morn. To talk of the weather is nothing but folly, For when it's rain on the hill it may be sun in the valley. CHRISTMAS CAROL. GOD bless the master of this house, The mistress also; And all the little children That round the table go; ALL FOOLS' DAY. APRIL fool! April fool! You learn nought by going to school. GOOD FRIDAY. ONE a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns! If your daughters do not like them, give them to your sons; But if you should have none of these pretty elves, You cannot do better than to eat them yourselves. |
