I read their story in the sand,
Another in the snow,
They write it with their tiny feet
As they come and go;
Here one stopped to eat awhile,
There one paused in fear -
This was a sparrow's landing field
With marks of his running gear;
Their joys and woes and tragedies
Are written clear and bold.
Their swift, minute biographies
The tracks they leave unfold.

Thanks for posting that so I could read it again.
I am and I'm not surprised to find out that was Louis L'Amour. :-) He was one of my father's favorite authors and his book 'Walking Drum' influenced me greatly as a budding history major.
