Who will love a little sparrow |
| [00:17.91] |
Who's traveled far and cries for rest? |

"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" |

Who will love a little sparrow |
| [00:53.33] |
And who will speak a kindly word? |

"Not I," said the Swan |
| [01:05.75] |

Will no one write her eulogy? |
| [02:17.12] |
"I will," said the Earth |
| [02:21.16] |
"For all I've created returns unto me |
| [02:26.75] |
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be" |
