Simon & Garfunkel - Sparrow Ringtone

Who will love a little Sparrow?
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."

Who will love a little Sparrow
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 will take pity in his heart,
And who will 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."

Who will love a little Sparrow?
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."

i agree. s&g have alot of symbolism in their songs, they really make you think about what you're listening to, and that's what makes them such good musicians

The symbolism of the Oak Tree would be greed and selfishness. The Earth would be God, or whatever supreme being/power you believe in.

i really like this song cuz it has such symbolism... like, the wheat is hypocrisy.."i would but, no, i need it for me"... and the swan vanity, "all the other swans would laugh, so i can't," and the tree... well, i can't figure out what the tree is...
