Lord Of The Reedy River Lyrics

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 mourned and sighed,

Whilst in evening twilight 
Two swans glide and fly 
In the reedy
river, 
In the reedy river, 
("Two swans glide and fly") 
In
the reedy river. 
("Two swans glide and fly") 

I fell in
love with a swan...
