In this poem, Kabir expresses that "... the fragrant scent... the woods of spring ... the bee of the heart... " will be found in heaven. Also, he begins this poem by asking the swan (his soul) where it's come from and where it's going by saying "Tell me, O Swan, your ancient tale." This may be an allusion to heaven as it references its age and its relation with said swan. Therefore, your best answer is the ancient tale.
