MAY-
AN ADDRESS TO THE SWALLOW.
But iJiou, sweet lird o* passage^ can
In this, advantage take o' man ;
An"* make a shorter stay.
The twa three months o' simmer gane.
Ye scour out-otvre the hill an"* plain ,
To seek anither May.
This stanza is a close and very feeble imitation of the fol-
lowing beautiful lines in the " Ode to the Cuckoo ;" a poem
which, though printed along with Logan's poetical works, has
with much probabUity been ascribed to Michael Bruce.
What time the pea puts on her bloom,
Thou fliest thy vocal vale.
An annual guest in other lands,
Another spiing to hail.
