One drop fell down, one followed more Then my count failed, free downpour From two cloudy eyes, tears wishes feet My lone miseries, life's endless beat.
On my bay, a sweet sparrow sat Flown from far, but resting at last In his beak a thread, thin long Kept his weight down, started a song .
Weary of singing, he looked over wings In such small frame, life joyfully blinks Then I spot his one-legged walk How shameful my moans, how so dark!
Oh God, tiny wings evinced glee In his woes, but a king in flee.
