Swan Lake Poem by Ima Ryma

There be a ballet called Swan Lake,
Where a lovely white swan does dwell
During the night, but at daybreak
The swan transforms, due to a spell,
Into a human for the day,
The beautiful woman, Odette.
A prince happens to come her way
And the two do dance a duet,
Dancing until the day goes by.
Odette does hope the spell is done.
But then her prince does sadly die,
Leaving Odette a lonely one.

With her true love now dead and gone,
Odette turns back into a swan.
