The Swallow - ZaunköniG - 28.05.2007 The Swallow Had I, my love declared, the tireless wing That wafts the swallow to her northern skies, I would not, sheer within the rich surprise Of full-blown Summer, like the swallow, fling My coyer being; but would follow Spring, Melodious consort, as she daily flies, Apace with suns that o’er new woodlands rise Each morn – with rains her gentler stages bring. My pinions should beat music with her own; Her smiles and odors should delight me ever, Gliding, with measured progress, from the zone Where golden seas receive the mighty river, Unto yon lichened cliffs, whose ridges sever Our Norseland from the Arctoc surge’s moan. |
