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
Wast 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
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
Wast 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
