Ode to Swallows
  
 Dogfighting through both soul and sky�?BR>Banishing Winter’s shadows they fire,
This soul within with summer’s joy;
There are swallows in the byre!
  
 Swift elegances of delight;
Perfection’s grace in swooping flight.
Twisting, turning, diving darts,
Spitfiring through the evening light...
