One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil's own sel'.
Counting Rhyme (from The Folklore of Birds, by Laura C. Martin, 1993)
