Lyrics:

Atop the leaves
'Neath an autumn moon
Though soon the morn shall break
For now, the air is calm and cool
And the wild swan’s on the lake

Oh, the wild swan’s on the lake, my love
The wild swan’s on the lake
For now, the air is calm and cool
And the wild swan’s on the lake

An arch of willow o’er our skin bared
And candles hanging from the silver birch
With a crown of daisies on your scented hair
For a bride, thee I shall take

For a bride, thee I shall take, my love
A bride, thee I shall take
With a crown of daisies on your scented hair
For a bride, thee I shall take

And we’ll wake the morn
And greet the dawn
With hearts entwined and free
And when the sun's begun to dance upon you
Filtering through the leaves

Filtering through the leaves, my love
Filtering through the leaves
When's the sun has begun to dance upon you
Filtering through the leaves

And the seasons shift and settle in
And a midday walk we’ll take
The winter winds are soft and still
And the swans are on the lake

Oh, the swans are on the lake, my love
The swans are on the lake
The winter winds are soft and still
And the swans are on the lake
