gustav holst - o swallow, swallow lyrics

Loading...

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, thou that knowest each
that bright and fierce and fickle is the south
and dark and true and tender is the north

o swallow, swallow, if i could follow, and light
upon her lattice, i would pipe and trill
and cheep and twitter twenty million loves

o were i thou that she might take me in
and lay me on her bosom, and her heart
would rock the snowy cradle till i died

why lingereth shе to clothe her heart with lovе
delaying as the tender ash delays
to clothe herself, when all the woods are green?

o tell her, swallow, that thy brood is flown:
say to her, i do but wanton in the south
but in the north long since my nest is made

o tell her, brief is life but love is long
and brief the sun of summer in the north
and brief the moon of beauty in the south
o swallow, flying from the golden woods
fly to her, and pipe and woo her, and make her mine
and tell her, tell her, that i follow thee
