- (continued from previous page)If they jump away from one another they would not be ever married. St. Stephen's day the people go from house to house gathering money.
They carry a dead wren on a holly bush and they have a song about the wren. It goes like this: "The wren, the wren, the king of all birds. St. Stephen's day she was caught in the furze. Up with the kettle, down with the pan; And give us a shilling to bury the wren".
