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 he laid her hand on me and this he did say
It will not be long now 'til our wedding Day

And he went away from me, he moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then he went onward, just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night he came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came her feet made no din
And he laid her hand on me and this he did say
It will not be long now 'til our wedding day
