Beneath the Sparrow's Dam

Our gold and silver shall not lack a dram,
for in the sower's hand and bag is seed
enough for us and for the sparrow's need.
In this regard, think not on what I am,
but think of eggs beneath the sparrow's dam,
who neither sows nor gathers for her breed,
yet still her chicks the Father's hand shall feed.
Are not our lives much more than these, my lamb?
If loaves and fishes first were counted least,
yet still disciples counted baskets full,
then shall our table ever lack a feast,
our children lack of scarlet, flax, and wool?
The least of ours shall be a king and priest,
though God has given us a quiverful.
