with the stars and the moon all around her.'

'When to have a hair cut!'
(Traditional English, UK)
'Best never enjoyed if Sunday shorn,
And likewise leave out Monday.
Cut Thursday and you'll never grow rich,
Likewise on a Saturday.
But live long if shorn on a Tuesday
And best of all is Friday.'

Attainment of all you wish.

Hard work but reward in time.

Will give you life with much pleasure.

'Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go;
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that is born on the Sabbath-day
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.'

'The Best Month to Marry'
(Traditional Rhyme UK)
'Married in January's hoar and rime,
Windowed you'll be before your time.
Married in February's sleepy weather,
Life you'll tread in time together.
Married when March winds shrill and roar,
Your home will be on a distant shore.
Married beneath April's changing skies,
A chequered path before you lies.
Married when bees over May blossom flit,
Strangers around your board will sit.
Married in the month of roses-June,
Life will be one long honeymoon.
Married in July with flowers ablaze,
Bittersweet memories on after days.
Married in August's heat and drowse,
Lover and friend in your chosen spouse.
Married in September's golden glow,
Smooth and serene your life will go.
Married when leaves in October thin,
Toil and hardship for you gain.
Married in veils of November mist,
Fortune your wedding ring has kissed.
Married in days of December cheer,
Love's star shines brighter from year to year.'

'November'
(Traditional Poem)
'No sun - no moon!
No morn - no noon,
No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member -
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds!-November!'
