READING BOOK,

THE SWALLOW.

GAY Herald of the rosy spring
Returning now, on rapid wing,
Low to sweep the lake or stream,
Or bask beneath the sunny beam.
Oh! haste thee, while the softest showers
Are vegetating Nature's flowers,

To animate the insect brood,

And cater thus thy fluttering food.
Oh! come and wantonly partake,
Of
every banquet Sol can make.
For when exhausted is thy store,
I know thou'lt tarry here no more,
But quickly fly to otherskies,
To newer feasts on choicer flies.
