She Moved Through the Fair

My love said to me

My Mother won't mind

And me Father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

Then she stepped away from me

And this she did say

It will not be long love

Till our wedding dayShe stepped away from me

And she moved through the fair

And fondly I watched her

Move here and move there

And she went her way homeward

With one star awake

As the swans in the evening

Move over the lakeThe people were saying

No two e'er were wed

But one has a sorrowThat never has a sorrow

That never was said

And she smiled as she passed me

With her goods and her gearAnd that was the last

That I saw of my dear.
