Magpie's Rhyme

A nostalgia of animal crackers, warm milk, a soft blanket, and luminescent white amber daydreams. "One for sorrow, Two for mirth, Three for a wedding, Four for a birth, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret Never to be told, Eight for a kiss, Nine for a wish, Ten for a suprise You should be careful not to miss!" - Traditional nursery rhyme to teach divination through birding, c. 1842 Art: Magpie Eating Cake by Rubens Peale, 1865
