Summary
Weather-lore rhymes about Candlemas:
First comes Canlemas an then the new meen
That meen oot an the next in its hicht
The first Sunday efter that and that's baith [sic] richt.
If Canlemas day be black and full
The half o the winter's gane at Yule;
But if Canlemas day be clear and fair
The half o the winter's a-gyangin mair.
