First Line: So the silver-feathered swan
Last Line: When my heart-strings are all broke?
Subject(s): Love; Love - Loss Of; Violas
So the silver-feathered swan,
Both by death and colour wan,
Loves to sing before she die,
Leaving life so willingly.
But how can I sing a note
When dead hoarseness stops my throat?
Or how can I play a stroke
When my heart-strings are all broke?
