[00:00:09] Who will love a little sparrow

[00:00:17] Who's traveled far and cries for rest?

[00:00:26] "Not I," said the Oak Tree

[00:00:30] "I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest

[00:00:36] And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast"

[00:00:44] Who will love a little sparrow

[00:00:53] And who will speak a kindly word?

[00:01:01] "Not I," said the Swan

[00:01:05] "The entire idea is utterly absurd

[00:01:11] I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard."

[00:01:25] Who will take pity in his heart

[00:01:33] And who will feed a starving sparrow?

[00:01:41] "Not I," said the Golden Wheat

[00:01:46] "I would if I could but I cannot I know

[00:01:51] I need all my grain to prosper and grow"

[00:02:00] Who will love a little sparrow?

[00:02:07] Will no one write her eulogy?

[00:02:17] "I will," said the Earth

[00:02:21] "For all I've created returns unto me

[00:02:26] From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be"
