Lord of the Reedy River |
|
She fell in love with a swan |
|
her eyes were filled with feathers |
|
he filled her with song |
|
in the reedy river |
|
in the reedy river |
|
She in her boat long hours |
|
He in his royal plumage |
|
She threw him some flowers |
|
in the reedy river |
|
in the reedy river |
|
Black was the night |
|
and starry |
|
she loosened off her garments |
|
and let fall her hair |
|
in the reedy river |
|
in the reedy river |
|
Sadly they mourn inside |
|
Lost in evening twilight |
|
two swans glide |
|
and fly... |
|
o'er the reedy river |
|
o'er the reedy river |
|
She fell in love with a swan... |
