A skir swan down the Danube's tide
Therein n bridegroom sat, and bride,
He one side, she the other.
Tell me, my dearest heart, said she.
What present shall / make to thee !
And back her little sleeve she stripped,
And deeply down her arm she dipped.
And SO did he, the other side,
And laughed and TESTED with bis bride.
Fair lady Danube, give me here
Some pretty git to please my dear
: She drew sparkling sword aloft,
Just such the boy had longed for ON.
The boy, what he Ids he in his hand
Oh milk white pearls a costly baud.
He binds it round Her jet black hair,
She looks princess, sitting there.
Fair lady Danube, give me here,
Some pretty git to please my dear !
Once more she,n try whit she caa feel
g She erasps a helmet Oh light steel.
On his part, terrified with joy,
tished up golded comb, the boy,
third time clutching in the tide,
Woe she falls headlong Ger the side.
The boy leaps after, clasps her tight,
D,me danube sna1ches both from sight,
Dame Danube grudged the gifts she gave,
III must atnue fort in the wave.
An empty skitf slidcs down the stream,
The mountains hide the sunset Sieam.
And when the moon in Heaven did stand,
The lovers ioated dead 10 tho land,
