10 for the devil's ain sel.

Seldon Scott

A part of the Walk of Words, an art project of various bird related poems and rhymes laid into the pavement. This version of the traditional magpie counting rhyme reads...

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 ain sel'.
