The silver swan Who living had no note When death approached Unlocked her silent throat Leaning her breast against the reedy shore Thus sung her first and last and sang no more Farewell all joys O death come close mine eyes More geese than swans now live More fools than wise
The silver Swan, who, living, had no Note, when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat. Leaning her breast against the reedy shore, thus sang her first and last, and sang no more: "Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes! More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise."
The 'true' tune of this is in the tenor line, except for one phrase near the end (swap with soprano). Try it - it is a better tune, and will suit alto well too.
Lovely - thank you for your even pitch and clear diction.
The silver swan
Who living had no note
When death approached
Unlocked her silent throat
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore
Thus sung her first and last and sang no more
Farewell all joys
O death come close mine eyes
More geese than swans now live
More fools than wise

Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
thus sang her first and last, and sang no more:
"Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes!
More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise."
