Lord Of The Reedy River

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 long hours,
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 off my garments
And let forth my hair,
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river

Sadly we moaned and sighed,
Whilst in evening twilight
Two swans glide and fly
O'er the reedy river,
("Two swans glide and fly")
O'er the reedy river,
("Two swans glide and fly")
O'er the reedy river

I fell in love with a swan...
