She Moved Through the Fair

My own love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

She went away from me

And this she did say

It will not be long

Till 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 this swan in the evening

Moves 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 beside me

And this this she did say

It will not be long love

Till our wedding day
