Then will be dear all kinds of grain.

(Robin Forby, “Vocabulary of East Anglia,” London, 1830.)

Somewhat different in a Latin form:

Clara dies Pauli multas segetes nitant amni,

February 2. Candlemas Day:

If Candlemas day be fair and bright,

Winter will have another flight;

If on Candlemas day it be shower and rain,

Winter is gone and will not come again.
