Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJAKBBLMHNOP HQRFS| The little sparrows | A |
| hop ingenuously | B |
| about the pavement | C |
| quarreling | D |
| with sharp voices | E |
| over those things | F |
| that interest them | G |
| But we who are wiser | H |
| shut ourselves in | I |
| on either hand | J |
| and no one knows | A |
| whether we think good | K |
| or evil | B |
| Meanwhile | B |
| the old man who goes about | L |
| gathering dog lime | M |
| walks in the gutter | H |
| without looking up | N |
| and his tread | O |
| is more majestic than | P |
| that of the Episcopal minister | H |
| approaching the pulpit | Q |
| of a Sunday | R |
| These things | F |
| astonish me beyond words | S |
