For the longest time, the swan was believed to be silent until just before its death, at which time it would display a beautiful song, seeming to pour all the feelings and emotions of its entire lifetime into one final performace before its death.
Now we know this to be false (they hiss, honk and grunt, but never do sing, even before their deaths), but there are a great many songs and poems based on this story, by authors and poets such as Tennyson, Orlando Gibbons, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This final gesture or performance before death, retirement, etc. was coined to be one's "Swan Song."
