My own love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of coin
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say
"It will not be long, lover
Till our wedding day."
And she stepped away from me
And she moves through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Me fair and moved in
And then she turned homeward
With one star awake
Like the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
Last night she came to me
My dead love came here
So softly she came
That her feet made no din
As she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day."
Oh, the people are saying
That no two were wed
But one has the sorrow
That never was said
And she smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear
