| - | |
| I love to see the swallows come | B |
| At my window twittering | C |
| Bringing from their southern home | D |
| News of the approaching spring | C |
| 'Last year's nest ' they softly say | E |
| 'Last year's love again shall see | F |
| Only faithful lovers may | E |
| Tell you of the coming glee ' | - |
| - | |
| When the first fell touch of frost | G |
| Strips the wood of faded leaves | H |
| Calling all their wing d host | I |
| The swallows meet above the eaves | H |
| 'Come away away ' they cry | J |
| 'Winter's snow is hastening | C |
| True hearts winter comes not nigh | J |
| They are ever in the spring ' | - |
| - | |
| If by some unhappy fate | K |
| Victim of a cruel mind | L |
| One is parted from her mate | K |
| And within a cage confined | L |
| Swiftly will the swallow die | J |
| Pining for her lover's bower | M |
| And her lover watching nigh | J |
| Dies beside her in an hour | M |
