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 of
flowers
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 of her garments
And let forth her hair
In the reedy river
In the reedy river
Sadly they moaned
and sighed
Whilst 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
