[Song Lyric]
[to music of 'The Swan' from 'Carnival of the Animals' by Camille Saint-Saëns,1835-1910 (including an audio file of me playing 'The Swan' on my flute...) ]
Would I could soar like a silver swan
O'er field and mountain river hill and dale,
I'd with my wishes sail on and on
High high in the sky above this tower jail.
If I had wings like a bird of flight
I'd glide away on a ray of light,
Floating until I'd arisen
Far from reality's prison.
I sing my song to the sun and rain;
Slow drift the days when hopes seem all in vain,
While on the moonbeams my prayers fly forever from view
And like my dreams never come true.
Hi Ms White, I loved this little poem of yours. Beautifully written and thank you for inviting us back to Rapunzel.. Obliged. May I invite you to read my poem The swan and Me.....

I would like to translate this poem
With wings like a bird of flight I'd glide away on a ray of light ...... Do we all have such a wonderful dream!
Thank you for your lovely comment!
