Old English Song

If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight; If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go Winter, and come not again. According to an old Scotch couplet... If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, There'll be twa (two) winters in the year. Another variation of the Scottish rhyme... If Candlemas day be dry and fair, The half o' winter to come and mair, If Candlemas day be wet and foul, The half of winter's gone at Yule.
