Magpie

I plucked a feather from a magpie's tail
And I vowed never to see love fail
He bowed clever, his colours spread
I plucked once more and his tail turned red

He said, "One's for sorrow but what of two?
And why should I give all to you?"
So then I swore before he fled
I'd pluck once more and his tail turned red

Five is for feathers
They say six is for fur
And seven is for secrets
Seven is for secrets
Never to be heard
