The Ceremonies For Candlemas Day

Title:     The Ceremonies For Candlemas Day
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Kindle the Christmas brand, and then
Till sunset let it burn;
Which quench'd, then lay it up again,
Till Christmas next return.

Part must be kept, wherewith to teend
The Christmas log next year;
And where 'tis safely kept, the fiend
Can do no mischief there.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Ceremonies For Candlemas Day
