Sparrow
 作词 : Paul Simon
 作曲 : Paul Simon

Who will love a little sparrow

Who's traveled far and cries for rest

＂Not I ＂ said the Oak Tree

＂I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest
And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast＂

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 ＂

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

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＂
