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 Oer the reedy river Oer the reedy river She fell in love with a swan
