This pretty bird, O! how she flies and sings,20
But could she do so if she had not wings?
Her wings bespeak my faith, her songs my peace;
When I believe and sing my doubtings cease.
20 The swallow is remarkably swift in flight; ‘their note is a slight twittering, which they seldom if ever exert but upon the wing.’—Goldsmith’s Natural History.—Ed.
