Alex Colville's 1980 painting called Seven Crows, featuring 7 crows flying over a Nova Scotia riverbank

Colville's Seven Crows
is based on a crow poem
that I've never heard

7 crows flying west, after a hard day at the office.

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret...
Never to be told
