He is the swan of divine origin<br />
10whose kiss mounted through fields<br />
of silk to the rosy peaks<br />
of Leda's sweet hills.<br />
White king of Castalia's fount,<br />
his triumph illumines the Danube;<br />
15Da Vinci was his baron in Italy;<br />
Lohengrin is his blond prince.<br />
His whiteness is akin to linen,<br />
to the buds of white roses,<br />
to the diamantine white<br />
20of the fleece of an Easter lamb.<br />
He is the poet of perfect verses,<br />
and his lyric cloak is of ermine;<br />
he is the magic, the regal bird<br />
who, dying, rhymes the soul in his song.
