She Moved Through the Fair

My own love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my father won't smite you

For your lack of kind

She went away from me

And this she did say

It will not be long

Til 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 home ward

With one star away

As the swan in the evening

Moves over the way

I dreamed last night

That my own love came in

She came and so sweetly

Her feet made no din

She came close beside me

And this this she did say

It will not be long love

Til our wedding day
