    When the swallows homeward fly, When the roses scattered lie, When from neither hill or dale, Chants the silvery nightingale: In these works my bleeding heart Would to thee its brief impart; When I thus thy image lose Can I, ah! can I, e'er know repose

    They flew in and out
    returning each time
    a twig in their beaks
    and cooing sublime

    The patio is sheltered
    No rain enters there
    and the fan so high up
    perfection for the pair

    Their nest built and comfy
    they settled in tight
    and covered the eggs
    all day and all night

    And then it happened
    The miracle occurred
    The hatchlings came forth
    Tiny wings on a bird
