She Moves 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 she laid her hand on me

And this she did say

It will not be long, love

Till our wedding day.



She stepped away from me

And she went through the fair

And fondly I watched her

Move here and move there.



And then she went homeward

With one star awake

As the swan in the evening

Moves over the lake.



Last night she came to me

My true love came in

And 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
