Mary Hopkin - Lord of the reedy river

She fell in love with a swan.
Her eyes were filled with feathers.
He filled her with song
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.

She in her boat long hours,
He in his royal plumage.
She threw him some flowers
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.

Black was the night and starry.
She loosened off her garments
And let fall her hair
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.

Sadly they mourn inside
Lost in evening twilight.
Two swans glide and fly
O'er the reedy river,
O'er the reedy river.

She fell in love with a swan…
