The soft showers are falling the wet winds

The swallows fly high, the swallows fly
put summer is passing, and golden sheaves
Are whispering OF winter and withered
leaves;
The woodlands are ringing the whole dav

The swallows arc singing their farewell
song;
They sing of land where they long to be,

fe sing to my heart of youths golden
And distance and death, and long years be
tween,
Recede with their Joys and their sorrow,

And tender eyes lingeringly rest on me-
ho'eu eyes that on earth 1 shall no more
see.
For spring brings the swallows 10 last
years nest
And world-weary hearts wander home to

No home like the old of sunshine and dew:
NO faces so dear, no heart so true
whenever, wherever my feet may roam.
MY heart turns with loveto my childhood's
