Sparrow
Sparrow
Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkel
EmWhoD will love a little sparrow,
Who's travelled Cfar, and cries for Drest?
"Not EmI," said the Aoak tree.
"I Dwon't share my branches with Ano sparrow's nest;
And my Dblanket of leaves won't wAarm her cold bEmreast."
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..."
