THE SPRING BIRDS.

Now we know that winter's done,
For a troop of swallows come,
Twitter, twitter, in the air,
Twitter, twitter, everywhere.
Oh, they are sweet pretty things!
Flying round with rapid wings,
Twitter, twitter, in the air,
Twitter, twitter, everywhere.
The swallow knows no other tune,
But always sings to May and June,
Twitter, twitter, in the air,
Twitter, twitter, everywhere.
