Em
Who
D
will love a little sparrow,
Who's travelled
C
far, and cries for
D
rest?
"Not
Em
I," said the
A
oak tree.
"I
D
won't share my branches with
A
no sparrow's nest;
And my
D
blanket of leaves won't w
A
arm her cold b
Em
reast."
Who will love a little sparrow,
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the swan.
"The entire idea is utterly absurd;
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard."
And who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the golden wheat.
"I would if I could but I cannot I know;
For I need all my grain to prosper and grow."
Who will love a little sparrow,
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth.
"For all I've created returns unto me;
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
