: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, | |||

:O tell her, brief is life, but love is long. | |||

: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. | |||

- 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.
Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892)
