Graceful swan, your plumage white
you haunt the shadows of the night
on glacial waters of the lake
mute you glide, no sound do make
And I have loved you from afar
Lost to me, my wandering star
And how you danced as wings took flight
You mesmerised with feet so light
on every pirouette you spun
in moonlight’s glow, my heart was won
And still I love you evermore
Lost to me, hard to endure
You are the lake, the stars, the moon
Ethereal music’s soulful tune
Princess of the glacial water
Nevermore a lover, daughter
In death, your voice will soar the plains
Sing for me those sad refrains
Graceful swan, my deep regret
you nevermore shall be Odette.

Beautiful write but Odette will always be within the mind.
Thank you. I love swan lake
How very poignant. The rhythm, language, and imagery put forth in this are nearly flawless, at least in my opinion. I absolutely love it.
Wow some accolade. Many thanks 🙏
