“Cheer-up! Cheer-up!” chirps my sparrow,
And hops onto my window sill;
She takes the path, straight and narrow,
And peers at me through iron grill.
She nods her head in understanding,
Dark almond alight with care; g
All my woes that are demanding
to fold her wings in fervent prayer.
A scattering of crumbly cakes,
A cup of ginger tea for me;
My kitchen glows and awakes,
in our cheerful company.
“Cheer-up! Cheer-up!", she chirps goodbye,
And reaches for the calling sky.
