The Mirror: A. A. Milne's poem in his book "When We Were Very Young" set to music

The Mirror

Poem by A. A. Milne
Set to music by Dacoda

Between the woods the afternoon

Is fallen in a golden swoon

The sun looks down from quiet skies

To where a quiet water lies

And silent trees stoop down to trees

And there I saw a white swan make

Another white swan in the lake

And breast to breast, both motionless

They waited for the wind’s caress

And all the water was at ease
