She Moved 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

And she stepped away from me, and this, she did say

It will not be long off, till our wedding day

She stepped away from me, and she moved through the fair

And fondly, I watched her, move here and move there

And then she went homeward, with one star awake

As the swan in evening, moves over the lake

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in

So softly, she came, but her feet made no din

And she laid her hand on me, and this, she did say

It will not be long off, till our wedding day

It will not be long off, till our wedding day
