"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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STUDY OF HAPPINESS by KENNETH KOCH SO MUCH HAPPINESS by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE CROWD CONDITIONS by JOHN ASHBERY I WILL NOT BE CLAIMED by MARVIN BELL THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#21): 1.
