I don't know if this is apt, a Cornish Carol entitled'A Stratton Carol of The Months' It is from a book of Cornish songs called Canow Kernow and was communicated to the author by Edith Jewel from Grace English, who remembered it sung by Lizzie Kempthorne.

January's when cold winds do blow February brings us frost and snow March is when young lambs do play April brings us flowers so gay May is when the fields are green June is when new hay is seen July's days are very warm August brings the thunderstorm September's harvest fields are clear October's when we brew fine beer Novembers dreariest days in the year December end the fleeting year.

Not really about lenten things but a reminder of Gods gifts the whole year through (barring November!!!) Lucy
