SWAN SONG:


Is it she, or is it me, the lonely swan, or illusive girl?

The soul who glides unseen, down where mists do swirl,

Where the dawn-clad river sidles sly & softly whispers,

Where old willows weep & dappled sunbeam glisters.

 

Are they hers, or mine, those teardrops upon old stones?

Dewdrops weeping, for passing of winter´s solitary bones,

Under moss-kissed arches, beneath the milk-garbed moons,

Where ancient Druids see my fate, cast within old Runes.

 

The swan glides down, to where silent river darkly seeps,

Where, over bridges, furtively, eternal ivy softly creeps,

Is it my voice, or sad song of the swan, I hear now crying?

It must be her, for she only sings, when slowly she is dying.
