I wonder if they're still there. <br />Halfdan Rasmussen is a great poet for smiles. He's beloved by children and grown ups for his play with language and words. The translation is my own. After I finished, I fould out that an English version exists - the first lines are identica - but I like mine the best. I find it more childish - as it should be - and more faithful to the original, but my rhymes ar a bit off.

Oh I wish I could have seen those white swans. One year we spent a week at Swan Lake, which is a couple of hours' drive away on the coast. There were flocks of black swans there. I tried many times to get some good photos but I was never quick enough, or they were too far away to get a clear picture. The poem made me smile!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
