Hats-full, caps-full!
Bushel-bushel-sacks-full!

And my pockets full too! Huzza!"


Old Custom of blessing Apple Trees on Twelfth Day.

Apple-tree, apple-tree,
Bear apples for me:
Hats full, laps full,
Sacks full, caps full:
Apple-tree, apple-tree,
Bear apples for me.


"Twelfth-Day—came in a tiffany suit, white and gold, like a queen on a frost-cake, all royal, glittering, and Epiphanous."

Elia.


January the fourteenth will be either the coldest or wettest day of the year.
