The silver swan
Who living had no note
When Death approached
Unlocked her silent throat
Leaning her breast against
The lonely shore
Thus sang her first and last
And sang no more

“Farewell, farewell all joys
O Death, come close mine eyes
More geese than swans now live
More fools than wise”

“Swan Song”
