She Moved Thru' 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, till our wedding day"

She stepped away from me and she moved thru' the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
Then she bid her way homeward with one star awake
As a 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"
