We went to Stratford yesterday just to walk around
The scene was just so beautiful with very little sound.
The ferry plying back and forth on that little chain
The cruise boats chugging downstream and then back up again.
People hiring rowing boats, which they can’t really row
With their merry laughter as on their way they go!
There is a calmness in the scene in that historic place
But what lives, within the mind, is the white swans’ grace.
They float with little effort or so it seems to me
With style and so much elegance for all the world to see!
Yes, they may be paddling hard underneath the water
But there’s just a ripple as the sun gets ever hotter.
Would that I could cope with life like swans that I have seen
Making not a sound or splash but, just like the swan, serene!
