Spring Song of the Swallow
'Spring Song of the Swallow' Summary
The poem begins with the swallow returning to its old haunts, and marveling at the changes that have taken place since it left. The trees are in bloom, the flowers are out, and the air is filled with the sound of birdsong. The swallow is overjoyed to be back, and it spends its days flying around, enjoying the beauty of the season.As the poem progresses, the swallow encounters other creatures who are also enjoying the spring weather. It sees a squirrel gathering nuts, a rabbit hopping through the grass, and a bee buzzing from flower to flower. The swallow is struck by the beauty and diversity of nature, and it is grateful for the opportunity to experience it all.The poem ends with the swallow flying away, but it promises to return next year. The swallow is a symbol of hope and renewal, and its return each spring is a reminder that even after the darkest of times, there will always be a new beginning.Book Details
