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."

Then she stepped away from me

And this she did say

"It will not be long now

Till our wedding day."

Then she stepped away from me

And she moved through the fair

So fondly I watched her

Move here and move there

And then she turned homeward

With one star away

Like the swan in the evening

Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me

My dead love came in

So softly she came

That her feet made no din

Then she stepped away from me

And this she did say

"It will not be long now

Till our wedding day."
