    And over the pond are sailing
    Two swans all white as snow;
    Sweet voices mysteriously wailing
    Pierce through me as onward they go.
    They sail along, and a ringing
    Sweet melody rises on high;
    And when the swans begin singing,
    They presently must die.

Between her white wings mantling proudly, rows
Her state with oary feet.

Coal-black is better than another hue
In that it scorns to bear another hue;
For all the water in the ocean

Although she lave them hourly in the flood.

death they sing more merrily than before, because of the joy they
have in going to the God they serve.
