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
And she stepped away from me
and this she did say,
It will not be long, love, till our wedding day
She stepped away from me,
and she went thro' the fair.
And fondly I watched her
move here and move there.
And then she went homeward
with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
moves over the lake.
Last night she came to me,
she came softly in,
So softly she came that her feet made no din.
And she laid her hand on me,
and this she did say
It will not be long love, till our wedding day
