She Moved Through The Fair

My true love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

She laid her hand on me

And this she did say

"Oh, it will not be long, love

Till our wedding day"

She stepped away from me

And she moved through the fair

And so fondly I watched her

Move here and move there

And she made her way homeward

With one star awake

As the swan in the evening

Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me

My dead love came in

And so softly moved she

That her feet made no din

And she laid her hand on me

And this she did say

"Oh, it will not be long, love

Till our wedding day"
