"New moon, new moon, true and bright,
If I have a lover let me dream of him tonight.

If I am to marry near, let me hear a cow low;
If I am to marry never ,let me hear a hammer knock."
It is, however, an ill omen to see the new moon for the first time through a window and it is believed by some that it is wrong to point at the moon as this will bring hard times.
