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 kine.

She went away from me

And this she did say:

It will not be long

'Til our wedding day.



She went away from me

And she moved through the fair

And slowly I watched her

Move here and move there.

She went her way homeward,

With one star awake,

As the swan in the evening

Moved over the lake.



I dreamed last night

That my own love came in.

She came in so sweetly

Her feet made no din.

She came close so silently

And this, this she did say:

It will not be long, love,

'Til our wedding day.
