Original text and translations
English text
- The Silver Swan who, living, had no note,
- When death approach'd, unlock'd her silent throat.
- Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
- Thus sung her first and last, And sung no more:
- "Farewell all joys, O death come close mine eyes.
- More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise."
