In the story named as "The Happy Prince" which is basically a short story by Oscar Wilde the meaning of swallow is very simple.

Swallow renders to be a small bird and that bird. And these types of birds are usually with long pointed wings and have a large mouth to eat the insects. They are very famous due to their long migrations from one place to another place. In the story of Happy Prince the bird which has been discussed by the writer is that kind of bird. And the Happy Prince calls the birds again and again to help him in getting satisfaction about his people.

So you must understand that swallow didn't use in the story of The Happy Prince as a verb but it is basically a noun and it means a small and a very graceful bird with swift flying abilities. The Happy Prince would often orders the swallow to do what he had ordered. So swallow means a bird in the story of Happy Prince.
I hope you've got the answer of your question.

I think the swallow mean the helper or we can call any organizations especially, non profit organizations if we compare it to everyday life. The swallow flow from Egypt,it can compare to the any organizations come from different countries to help one country.The happy prince asked for help mean the government ask for help. When the swallow died mean the helper cannot help forever or it was the time to go back or help other countries.
