This crimson tassel stands for blood—
May yours gallop safe and sound!

The threads of white are blinks of good
that everyone can find around.

Just wear it indoors and out,
until you see the first green sprout.

Then hang it on a budding branch
and good will launch its avalanche

or put it under some big stone
and any evil will be gone.

It is a pagan, old belief,
that offers one, at least, relief.
