A Magpie frequents the garden  

(one for sorrow, two for joy)

alone he stalks the perimeter ,

harden by no rain

(one for sorrow, two for joy) 

Wanting to catch your gaze

and hold

your eye

(one for sorrow,two for joy)

he who waits for no one

now waits;  

for the light ....

... to 

die

*one for sorrow *
