If you believe the sun is growing black <br />And sparrows flee the wind because they’re small <br />Than there is more that you have left to see <br />Beyond these walls. <br /> <br />But all birds fly because they hate the cold <br />And all the stars and suns are shining bright <br />And hearts are silent in the distant darkness <br />Of the night. <br /> <br />And still you say your heart is growing wise <br />Enough to buy all that it’s ever sold <br />Then I, this sparrow, am too small <br />And the sun is cold.<br /><br />Ben Paynter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/said-the-sparrow-to-the-night/
