The poem looks to nature as the ultimate evidence that impeding migration is a fool’s errand. Light, no matter how bright or dark the environment, is always an indicator of direction: East and West marked by sunrise and sunset, or the North Star in the darkness. In the poem, any attempts to banish these light sources still cannot stop the innate compulsion toward movement embedded within both nature and the human being. To say I Follow the Sparrow is to say the drive to migrate precedes us; in fact, it practically seems as if it were the story of everything.
