Transcription
On New Year's Day the day-light lengthens as far as a cock's crow carries. When oak trees bend with snow in January, good crops may be expected. January 14 will be either the coldest or the wettest day of the year. A January Spring is worth nothing. As long as the bird sings before bandlemas, so long will it wail after it. All the months in the year will curse a fair February. As long as the sunbeam comes in on Brigid's Day, the snow comes before May Day.
