gather: Lent

The Snowdrop, in purest white array, / First rears her head on Candlemas Day

St. Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was! / The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold...

On the first day of Christmas...

All we ses is please we’ve come a-Thomasing

Saint Thomas divine, / brewing, baking...

St. Thomas grey, St. Thomas grey / The longest night & the shortest day

Clemencing, clemancing, year by year / Apples and pears are very good cheer

'Oranges & lemons,' say the bells of St. Clement's

The Lamb shall soon stand / White as a shout against the sky: / His feet shall soon strike rainbows from the rock.

After [All Saints’ Day] comes Winter’s Day, far and wide, / six nights later, and seizes sun-bright autumn
