  1. Proverbs

    1// Climb up into a wych - hazel at night, and you'll hear the witches sing,
    Trail a branch of a wych - hazel across a meadow, and you'll find a spring.
    2// Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on,
    Happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
    3// A dimple on your chin your living will come in,
    A dimple on your cheek your living you'll have to seek.
    4// As the day lengthens the cold strengthens.
