When the many penny-sparrows fall to the ground [copper autumn leaves] I fear, lest I am worth far less [and forgotten] I have his sworn word: he never will, and it’s never enough [for me] my heart scorns to believe impossibility-- this sparrow [you are mindful of her]

“So do not fear; you are worth more than many sparrows. Two sparrows are sold for a penny. Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. Not one of them is forgotten by God.”
When the many penny-sparrows fall to the ground [copper autumn leaves] I fear, lest I am worth far less [and forgotten] I have his sworn word: he never will, and it’s never enough [for me] my heart scorns to believe impossibility-- this sparrow [you are mindful of her]
