English text
Low-flying swallow, tho’ the sky be fair,
The sunshine soft.
Thou seekest not with love the upper air,
Soaring aloft;
Thy sharp and gleamy wing goes flashing, goes flashing, flashing by me,
Thy dusky white and blue thou’lt not deny me!
Thy nest’s a bit of mine– thy little home
Set in the eaves.
When roses leave the wall, where wilt thou roam, where wilt thou roam,
When summer leaves?
Not lightly, flying friend, can I forego thee,
The longest day is all too short to know thee!
