SWALLOW AND FAIRY.
All the summer will a swallow Flit my cliiinney out and in ; Day and night together Singing in the sunny weather, With her shining eye and preened . feather. She is going — she has been, But when the air gets sharp and thin, And her ways the snowflakes follow, Where's the swallow — where's the swallow. Love's green summer Has a fairy ,'■ Flitting visions out and in ; Be it waking, sleeping, Ever is she tripping, peeping, Mists of glory round her sweeping, She is going — she has been. But when there's beard upon the chin, Wolf to fight, and care to carry. Where's the fairy — where's the fairy?
