She Moves Thru 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" 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 moved thru the fair So 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... All the people were saying No two were here wed But one had sorrow That never was said And I smiled As she passed With her goods And her gear And that was the last That I saw Of my dear... Last night She came to me She stepped softly in So softly she stepped 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..."
