I find it interesting that the first verses end with "needed nothing it had" but with the swan "needed nothing she could give" implying that she had something needed but wasn't able to give it. I wonder what it could be?
I think the swan is a constant character in Mr. H's work, as the owl. Maybe it's the same swan from Swanheart and all of the other songs which mention a swan-hearted person.

@Katalia I can't shake the idea that the "Swan of white" is Tarja. Because "Lady in white" and also because he believes she did have something during the early days of Nightwish but in the end couldn't give it to him. Also from random sites found googling "swan symbolism":
