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" 

Then she stepped away from me 

And this she did say 

"It will not be long love  til our Wedding day" 

She stepped away from me 

And she moved through the fair 



And fondly I watched her 

Move here and move there 

Then she made her way homeward 

With one star awake 

As the swan in the evening 

Moves over the lake 



I dreamt it last night 

That my dead love came in 

So softly she moved 

That her feet made no din 

Then she came close beside me 

And this she did say 

"It will not be long love, til our Wedding day"
