Answer: Formal and uplifting.

In this poem, Rilke compares how humans live with the way the swan is. She argues that the awkward walk of the swan reflects our life, which is often awkward and difficult. However, the moment we die is like the moment the swan gets in the water. It is a smooth transition, after which it glides easily through infinity.
