Swan Song - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

It's been so lonely without you
This winter time in the Lagoon.
Together at Lincoln Park Zoo
We trumpeted a loving tune.
So many swan cygnets we raised,
Until the time for each to go
Into the future never gazed.
We were together, that be so.
And then one day you were just gone.
I kept looking for you to be.
The days went by from dusk to dawn,
And you have not come back to me.

I tell the world we are apart.
I trumpet 'miss you' from my heart.
