SWALLOWS FLEW BY

                                      SWALLOWS FLEW BY

                            Swallows flew by
                            Low in the sky
                            The sun was warm
                            But, O the breeze
                            So soft and cool
                            As the silence spoke
                            And quiet was the rule

                            And I was in heaven
                            Here on the earth
                            As the day arose
                            And the gods gave birth
                            To tree limbs swaying
                            For all they were worth

                            While sitting on the porch
                            Just you and I
                            With a couple of cats
                            As we let out a sigh
                            Together
