I fell in love with a swan
My eyes were filled with feathers
He filled me with song
In the reedy river
In the reedy river
I in my boat of flowers
He in his royal plumage
I threw him some flowers
In the reedy river
In the reedy river
Black was the night and starry
I loosened out my garments
And let forth my hair
In the reedy river
In the reedy river
Beside me he moaned and sighed
Washed in morning twilight
Two swans glide and fly
O'er the reedy river
O'er the reedy river
I fell in love with a swan |
