Couplet
EmWho-o Dwill love a little sparrow,
Who's travelled Cfar, and cries for Drest?
"Not EmI," said the Aoak tree,
"I Dwon't share my Abranches with no sparrow's nest;
And my Dblanket of leaves Awon't warm her Emcold breast."
Couplet
Who-o 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."
Couplet
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."
Couplet
Who-o 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."
