Sweet and small, my pretty sparrow Wish my mood was just as narrow So beautiful is your entire plume How your rust hides all your gloom But how come your cage is so small? Almost makes me, in pity, bawl I remember when first my eyes you drew And for your beauty, I locked you Now no longer I can see you fly Which truly makes me think, and sigh: If I am the one who trapped the sparrow, Does that mean, I am not the hero?
