She Moves Through The Fair

My young love said to me

My mother won ′t mind

And my father won ′t slight you

For your lack of kind

Then she stepped away from me

And this she did say

"It will not be long love,

till our wedding day".

She stepped away from me

and she moved through the fair

and fondly I watched her

Moved here and move there

Then she made her way homeward

with one star awake

As the swan in the evening

moves over the lake

I dreamt it last night

That my dead love came in

So softly she moved

That her feet made no din

Then she came close beside me

And this she did say

"It will not be long love,

till our wedding day".
