"She Moved Through The Fair" Lyrics

My young love said to me,
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kine.
She went away from me
And this she did say:
It will not be long
'Til our wedding day.

She went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And slowly I watched her
Move here and move there.
She went her way homeward,
With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake.

I dreamed last night
That my own love came in.
She came in so sweetly
Her feet made no din.
She came close so silently
And this, this she did say:
It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day.
