See The Swift Flying Gracefully Through The Air

Beautiful Bird, Always Flying And Gliding

Through Blue Skies, Over Waters, On Wings So Fair

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

Flying So Fast From This Place To Who Knows Where

Immortalised Form By Anna On The Wing

See The Swift Flying Gracefully Through The Air

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

Apus Apus, Latin For This Bird So Rare

Avian Magic On The Wing Free Flying

Through Blue Skies, Over Waters, On Wings So Fair

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

The Freedom Of The Skyways With Speed to Spare

With A Journey To Make And A Song To Sing

See The Swift Flying Gracefully Through The Air

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

On Their Epic Migrations Without A Care

To Foreign Climes Over Seas, Southward They Wing

Through Blue Skies, Over Waters, On Wings So Fair

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐ŸŒ…

Though They Flew South One Day To Here They'll Repair

In The Bright Blue Sky You Will See Them Soaring

See The Swift Flying Gracefully Through The Air

Through Blue Skies, Over Waters, On Wings So Fair
