(See Pic-Nic.) To dream of pleasant and verdant groves or woods, is an excellent sign, as it foretells happiness and success: if the groves are barren of leaves, it is the reverse, and you will be poor and unhappy.
A maid who dreams of verdant groves, Will surely have the man she loves; But if the groves are nipped with frost, She’ll be as sure in marriage crossed.
