Every 10th word

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

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