Nine Swans A- Gliding

where turbulant waters fill the loch

under grey clouds on an autumn day

nine swans battling among the waves

tall, white and elegant in every way

a line of nine swans go swimming by

bobbing amongst the blustery weather

between distant hills bathed in sunshine

to lowland covered in gorse and heather

majestic creatures gliding gracefully

while paddling under water seamlessly

where have you come from my pretties

silently drifting by in a line so peacefully
