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.
