one for sorrow
two for mirth
three for a death
four for a birth
five for silver
six for gold
seven for a secret to never be told
eight for a promise
nine is foresworn
ten is a treasure hidden 'neath thorn
eleven brings storm
twelve shall be fair
thirteen cruel whisper
fourteen a care
fifteen a sojourn
sixteen for home
seventeen finds you standing alone
eighteen is good fortune
nineteen justice done
twenty the first sign an end has begun
