LITTLE SPARROW ON THE TREE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

by Lim Su Min<\/em><\/p>\n

What seeeth thou from up there,
\nLittle sparrow on the tree
\nWith thine tiny eyes thy vision cast
\nAcross this cemetery?<\/p>\n

Canst thou see the things unseen
\nThousands upon thousands of souls in pain
\nCanst thou hear with thine tiny ears
\nTheir plaintive cry for “peace again?<\/p>\n

Little sparrow on the tree
\nSoar up to heaven to pray
\nTo plead that these anguished souls
\nWould truely “Requiescite in pace” .<\/p>\n
