QUESTION, by                    
First Line: All morning long
Last Line: In song?
Subject(s): Sparrows; Youth


All morning long
A young sparrow
Chirping on the window-ledge
Of my office
Has distracted me from the column
Of figures
It is my task to add . . .

Why is it that I,
A clear-headed young man,
Devoting my life
To debits and credits,
Am confused
By anything as aimless
As a bird
Wasting its life
In song?
