Dickinson's Sparrows

God gave a Loaf to every Bird –

Victory comes late –

Victory comes late,

Some, too fragile for winter winds

I think just how my shape will rise –

I envy Seas, whereon He rides –

Her breast is fit for pearls,

Her breast is fit for pearls,

A Sparrow took a slice of Twig

A Sparrow took a Slice of Twig

"Mama" never forgets her birds –
