O silver-throated Swan
Struck, struck! A golden dart
Clean ______ thy breast has gone
Home to thy heart.
Thrill, thrill, O silver throat!
O silver trumpet, pour
Love for ______ back
On him who smote!
And brim, brim o'er
______ love; and ruby-dye thy track
Down thy last living ______
Of river, sail the golden light—
Enter the sun's heart—even teach
O wondrous-gifted Pain, teach Thou
The God of love, let him learn how!
