-O swallow, swallow, flying, flying South,
-Fly to her, and fall upon her gilded eaves,
-And tell her, tell her what I tell to thee.
-O tell her, swallow, that thou knowest each,
-That bright, and fierce, and fickle is the South,
-And dark, and true, and tender is the North.
-O tell her, brief is life, but love is long.
-And brief the sun of summer in the North,
-And brief the noon of beauty in the South.
-O swallow, flying from the golden woods,
-Fly to her, and woo her, and make her mine,
-And tell her, tell her that I follow thee.}}
