Når alle fine svulur slær venga ut og fær, da sit 'n att i tunet og trøter tia her, spurven. Når alle lærker kvitrer i grøne palmeland, da sit 'n på en rimekvist og syng så godt 'n kan, spurven. Når flisa sprett i skogen og snøen fyk i fonn, da hågg 'n i en hestelort og finn et bergingskonn, spurven. Når nordavinden uler og månen står i næ, da er'n en strid og hemkjær trysling, han som je. Spurven.
