House Sparrows By Name Poem by Francis Duggan

Under the house eaves the sparrows with feathers line their nests of hay
And they chirp from the dawn till gloam of the day
To be the World's greatest feathered chirpers is their claim to fame
They are cheeky by nature and house sparrows by name
From human built dwellings never far away
They are birds we see often and hear every day
They are born without beauty they do not have a song
Plain brown and gray chirpers they do chirp all day long
In most sort of climates house sparrows reside
People have introduced them in Countries Worldwide
Of all of the World's species of birds perhaps the best known
And they do have a charm of their very own
Too trusting of humans of them one might say
From dawn till dusk they chirp all through the day.
