She Moved Through the Fair

My young love said to me
My brothers won't mind
And my parents won't slight you
For your lack of kind

She stepped away from 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

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Go here and go there

She went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

The people were saying
No two were ever wed
But one had a sorrow
That never was said

And I smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last that I
Saw of my dear
And that was the last that I
Saw of my dear

I dreamt it last night
That my young love came in
So softly, she entered
Her feet made no din
She lay down 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

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
