When Christmas Day is over
A boy
Who limps with one leg
Goes around calling together all those
Who have yielded to the Evil One
And there is a large number of them
Bidding them to follow him
If any one of these resists
Or hesitates
Then a tall man
With antlers on his head
Is also there
Who hits at them
With a whip
Braided from iron wire
And little chains
Driving them along with force
It is said
That he whips at the people so cruelly
That a long time later
Marks and scars can still be seen on their bodies
And they are in great pain
As soon as they begin to follow him
It appears as though they lose their former shape
And turn into wolves
Several thousand of them come together
Their leader
With the iron whip in his hand
Leads the way
When they have been led into a field
They cruelly attack the cattle
Ripping every animal to pieces
That they can catch
Thus doing great damage
However
They are not able to harm humans
When they come to a body of water
Their leader strikes at it
With his whip
And it divides
The water divides
Allowing them to cross over
With dry feet
After twelve days have passed
They abandon their werewolf form
And become humans once again
