She Moved Thru’ The Fair

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

Then she turned away from me
And this she did say
"It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day"

She turned away from me
And she moved thru' the fair
And I watched her so swiftly
Move here and move there

Then she turned her way homeward
With one star awake
Like a swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

Last night, I did dream
That my dead love come in
So softly she entered
That her feet made no din

And she turned her head to me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day"
