"Married when the year is new,
he'll be loving, kind and true;
When February birds do
mate, you wed nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March
winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you
can, joy for Maiden and for Man;
Marry in the month of
May, and you'll surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses
grow, over land and sea you will go;
Those who in July do wed,
must labour for their daily bread;
Whoever wed in August be,
many a change is sure to see;
Marry in September's
shrine, your living will be rich and fine;
If in October you do
marry, love will come but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak
November, only joys will come, remember;
When December snows fall
fast, marry and true love will last".
