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 kind
She moved away from me
These words she did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day"

All the people were saying
That no two were ever wed
And one has a sorrow
That never was said
I smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last time
I saw of my dear
As she moved away from me And she moved through the fair
So fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And she moved her way homeward
With one star awake
Mighty swan in the evening
Moved over the lake

I dreamt it last night
That my sweet love came in
So softly she came
That her feet made no din
I sat there close beside her
And this she did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day"
