Spring Song of the Swallow
This is a tender lyric celebrating spring's return, filtered through the graceful arrival of swallows. Holley captures that particular spring feeling when the world seems made new again - the cold relenting, the light lasting longer, and these small birds tracing their ancient paths back to where they belong. There's warmth here, and quiet wonder, and the kind of attention to nature's small miracles that defines the best nature poetry. The poem moves with the rhythm of the season itself, building from winter's lingering chill into the full joy of renewal. It's about cycles returning, about things that were lost coming home, about paying attention to what too often passes unnoticed.
