Last year’s Sparrow has returned plump
Egg heavy, she builds her first nest
No rest until every lump
Is removed, and her nest is best.
Last year’s Sparrow returned
She looks now for a first lover
Eager to show what she has learned
And ready to be a mother
Last year’s Sparrow
Sits on her eggs
Under narrow
Feathers and legs
Last year’s
Home now a stump
The Sparrow has no fears
Last year’s Sparrow has returned plump
