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
And she stepped away from me this she did say
"It will not be long love till our wedding day"

And she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her go here and go there
And she went her way homeward with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake

And the people were saying that no two were wed
That one has a sorrow that never was said
And I watched as she went with her goods and her gear
And that was the last time that I saw my dear

I dreamt it last night that my dead love made in
So softly she moved that her feet made no dim
She came close beside me and this she did say
"It will not be long love till our wedding day"

It will not be long love till our wedding day
It will not be long love till our wedding day
