we watch the summer swallows swoop and soar beneath the heavy clouds while children sleep oblivious to the way the long hours creep
like mice through the long grass so we abhor the many pressures that have made us weep we watch the summer swallows swoop and soar
so near our heads it must affect the score and strike our hearts the fountain's source is deep in native rock meanwhile like passive sheep we watch the summer swallows swoop and soar
