Sparrow Song

It’s the way things go, 
Ebb and flow, 
live and live, 
Die and die, 
Again and again, 
The sweet sparrow sings
“Tis time, tis time, to fly away”
“Heed my farewell”
“As we’ll never meet again”
“Your time has come,”
“Tis time, Tis time, to fly fly away.:
Death is on the horizon, 
Despair, next left, 
Time for goodbyes, 
Time for rest, 
A black cloak billows before you, 
You’ll feel safe in his arms, 
As he sweeps you away, 
With a sweet farewell kiss.
