"The Poorman" watercolor

I read a story in which birds and Valentines Day combine to predict the marriage prospects of young women. It was said that if a red breasted robin flew over the head of a young women on Valentines Day, it meant that she would marry a sailor. If a sparrow flew over head, it meant that she wound marry a poor man. If a gold finch flew across, she would marry a wealthy man. Now I am neither a sailor nor a wealthy man. So does that make me a sparrow? Well anyway my family can best answer that.
