The Wild Swans at Coole![]()
![]()
The trees are in their autumn beauty,![]()
![]()
The woodland paths are dry,![]()
![]()
Under the October twilight the water![]()
![]()
Mirrors a still sky;![]()
![]()
Upon the brimming water among the stones![]()
![]()
Are nine-and-fifty swans.![]()
![]()
The nineteenth autumn has come upon me![]()
![]()
Since I first made my count;![]()
![]()
I saw, before I had well finished,![]()
![]()
All suddenly mount![]()
![]()
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings![]()
![]()
Upon their clamorous wings.![]()
![]()
I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,![]()
![]()
And now my heart is sore.![]()
![]()
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,![]()
![]()
The first time on this shore,![]()
![]()
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,![]()
![]()
Trod with a lighter tread.![]()
![]()
Unwearied still, lover by lover,![]()
![]()
They paddle in the cold![]()
![]()
Companionable streams or climb the air;![]()
![]()
Their hearts have not grown old;![]()
![]()
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,![]()
![]()
Attend upon them still.![]()
![]()
But now they drift on the still water,![]()
![]()
Mysterious, beautiful;![]()
![]()
Among what rushes will they build,![]()
![]()
By what lake's edge or pool![]()
![]()
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day![]()
![]()
To find they have flown away?![]()

We've been reflecting on the past year at SWAN and we've been blown away by how much we have achieved together, in what has been such a challenging time for us all. ![]()
SWAN not only responded quickly to the changing situation, we actually managed to increase our services and support. ![]()
We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible SWAN volunteers, as well as all the womxn who make up the SWAN community - without your hard work and commitment, none of this would have been possible. ![]()
Thanks of course also go to our fantastic funders and allies who continued to support SWAN throughout. ![]()

Hi, I am a self-diagnosed woman, I am 44 yo, and I thought for a while, and it is very important to me to be diagnosed by a proper doctor. Can you please tell me the best way to be diagnosed with autism?
Because I tried to ask my new GP, (just moved to a new house) , the only answer I got was a letter from Fife Health e social care partnership saying that I was not placed on the waiting list because they only conduct ASD assessments if it was really affecting my mental health. First, they don’t know anything about me, how can they know, second the only reason I am not in a negative state of mental health is that I had the luck to be a stay home mum. Can anyone tell me how to get the ASD assessment, please?
