"THE SWALLOW, THE SWALLOW IS HERE" by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "AND THE SWALLOW, THE SWALLOW IS HERE!"
Subject(s): HAPPINESS; JOY;DELIGHT;
THE swallow, the swallow is here,
With his back so black and his breast so white,
He brings on the pride of the year,
With the gay months of love, and the days of delight.
Come, bring out your good humming stuff;
Of the nice tit-bits let the Swallow partake
And a slice of the right Boedromion cake.
So give, and give quickly,
Or we'll pull down the door from its hinges;
Or we'll steal young madam away.
But see, we're a merry boys' party,
And the swallow, the swallow is here!
