She Moved 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 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 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. |
The people were saying, 'no two e’er were red' |
But one had a sorrow that never was said |
And I smiled as she passed me with her goods and her gear, |
And that was the last that I saw of my dear. |
Last night she came to me, my true love came in, |
And she came in so easy her feet made no din. |
As she laid her hands on me and this she did say |
'It will not be long love, 'till our wedding day' |
No, it won’t be long my love. |
