Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em Em ( repeat twice ) Who D will love a li - ttle spa - rrow C far and cries for D rest ? "Not Em I ", said the A oak tree. "I D Bm won't share my bran - ches with A no spa - row's nest. And my D Bm blan - ket of leaves won't A warm her cold breast." Em ( repeat 5 times ) Lyrics : Who's traveled far and cries for rest? "Not I," said the Oak Tree, "I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest, And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast." And who will speak a kindly word? "Not I," said the Swan, "The entire idea is utterly absurd, I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other Swans heard." Who wiIl take pity in his heart, And who wiII feed a starving sparrow? "Not I," said the Golden Wheat, "I would if I could but I cannot I know, I need all my grain to prosper and grow." Will no one write her eulogy? "I will," said the Earth, "For all I've created returns unto me, From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be." http://~jmo
