God gave a loaf to every bird

God gave a loaf to every bird
But just a crumb to me;
I dare not eat it, though I starve,-
My poignant luxury
To own it, touch it, prove the feat
That made the pellet mine,-
Too happy in my sparrow chance
For ampler coveting.

It might be famine all around,
I could not miss an ear,
Such plenty smiles upon my board,
My garner shows so fair.
I wonder how the rich may feel,-
An Indiaman--an Earl?
I deem that I with but a crumb
Am sovereign of them all.
