🍀🦇🍀Bats, being night creatures, were believed to bring bad luck, so this rhyme was said to charm them...
"Airy mouse, airy mouse, fly over my head
And you shall have a crust of bread
And when I brew and when I bake
You shall have a piece of my wedding cake."

Would blow you through and through.
Now, my fair'st friend,
I would I had some flowers o' the spring that might
Become your time of day..."

❄️🍂❄️"How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!"
