{title:Sparrow}

{st:Paul Simon}

[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."
