The dusky swallows will return again,
Their love-songs in thy balcony to sing,
And once again will beat thy window-pane
With restless, fluttering wing. But those same swallows that restrained their flight,
That lingered lovingly in years before,
To contemplate thy charms and my delight—
Those will return no more.

— Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
