[00:09.90]Who will love a little sparrow 
[00:17.91]Who's traveled far and cries for rest? 
[00:26.35]"Not I," said the Oak Tree 
[00:30.74]"I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest 
[00:36.00]And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast"

[00:44.97]Who will love a little sparrow 
[00:53.33]And who will speak a kindly word? 
[01:01.59]"Not I," said the Swan 
[01:05.75]"The entire idea is utterly absurd 
[01:11.11]I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard."

[01:25.54]Who will take pity in his heart 
[01:33.14]And who will feed a starving sparrow?

[01:46.11]"I would if I could but I cannot I know 
[01:51.51]I need all my grain to prosper and grow"

[02:00.03]Who will love a little sparrow?

[02:21.16]"For all I've created returns unto me 
[02:26.75]From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be"
