ST. MARK'S EVE.

Take three tufts of grass plucked from a Churchyard, place them under

your pillow and repeat aloud:--

Let me know my fate, whether weal or woe

Whether my rank's to be high or low,

Whether to live single or be a bride,

And the destiny my star doth provide.

If this is done one dreams of the future.

When April blows his horn

'Tis good for hay and corn.

April showers make May flowers.

26th April was called Break Day. The Fen Commons were broke or opened

by turning in stock.
