The Sparrow
(from Heart of the Hills: 1917)A little meal of frozen cake,
A little drink of snow,
And when the sun is setting,
A broad-eaved bungalow.
A little hopping in the sun
Throughout the wintry day,
A little chirping blithely
Till March drifts into May:
A little sparrow’s simple life,
And Love, that life to keep,
That careth for the sparrow
Even when it falls asleep.
Albert Durrant Watson (1859-1926)
Canadian poet and physician
