EmWho-o Dwill love a little sparrow,
Who's travelled Cfar, and cries for Drest?

"I Dwon't share my Abranches with no sparrow's nest;
And my Dblanket of leaves Awon't warm her Emcold breast."

I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard."
Verse
And who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the golden wheat.

For I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

Who-o will love a little sparrow,
Will no one write her eulogy ?

From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
