<h3> <SPAN name="sparrows"></SPAN> SEVEN LITTLE SPARROWS </h3>
<p class="poem">
Beyond the deep-cut window<br/>
The bars are heaped with snow,<br/>
And seven little sparrows<br/>
Are sitting in a row.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Fluffy blur of snowflakes;<br/>
Dappled haze of light;<br/>
The narrow prison vista<br/>
Is all awhirl with white.<br/></p>
<p class="poem">
Seven little sparrows<br/>
Ruffled brown and grey<br/>
Snuggled close against the bars—<br/>
And this is Christmas day!<br/></p>
<p><br/><br/><br/></p>
