Little sparrow - do not fly But stay aside my stoop - and sing Your warm - effulgent - songs of joy That give your life - to everything Sparrow - sparrow in the air Wings like arrows - feathers rare Tuneful auras - shroud her song A rhapsody around - along No grey reason - restrains rhyme As it spills -throughout time Sparrow - sparrow in the air What wry spark - is hiding there? Sparrow swoops - amidst the bloom 'Twas summer in the shires At noon - a sight on which to swoon On golden wing - aspires Searching wide - for nature's boon Blood run - with her fires Bird wise - ancient - as the rune Beauty sung to lyres
