SPARROW IN THE COLD

Just outside my window

There sits a tiny bird.

It gives a tiny cherr-up

That hardly can be heard.


A small white-throated sparrow

With perky streaked crest.

Today he sits and preens himself

To look his very best.


Although he doesn’t show it

It’s cold outside today.

That’s why I sit and wonder,

How can he be so gay?


But he just sits and fluffs himself

To ward off all the cold.

About this chilling weather,

Does he have to be told?


It seems to me that if he knew

He’d try to make it better.

If he’d just come and sit with me

To get out of the weather,


I’m sure he’d like it better here

Then out there in the cold.

About this chilling weather

Does he have to be told?
