SFARR0WS.

Little birds sit on the telegraph wires,
And chtter and filter, and fold their wings
Maybe they think that for them and their sires
Stretched always, on purpose, those wonder
full strings;
And perhaps the thought that the Word inspired
Did plan for birds among other things.
Little birds sit on the slender lines,
And the news OF the world run under their
feet;
How value rises, and how declines,
How Kings with their armies in battle meet (;
And all the while, mid the soundless signs,
They chirp their small gossippings, foolish
sweet
Little things light on the lines of our lives
The hopes and joys and acts of to-day
And we think that for these the Lord contrives,
Nor catch what the lightnings say.
Yet from end to end His meaning arrives,
And His Word runs underneath all the way.
Is life only wires and lightnings then,
Apart from that which about it clings7
Are the thoughts and the works and the prayers
of men
Only sparrows that light on Gods telegraph
strings,
Holding a moment and gone again?
Nay! he planned for the birds, with the larger
things.
