The Swallow is a beautiful folk song from Newfoundland in Canada, artfully arranged by Ruth Elaine Schram for treble choir. The long melodic lines and the sensitive poetry will give singers an opportunity to express a variety of emotions. In the song, a young maiden has died of a broken heart. The lyrics compare her to a variety of things in nature, like the swallow flying high in the sky and a river that flows on forever. Also available for unison voices (BL329).
