She Moved Through The FairMy young love said to me, "My brothers won't mindAnd my parents won't slight you for your lack of kind" And she stepped away from me, and this she did say "Oh, it will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day" She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair And fondly I watched her go here and go there Then she went her way homeward with one star awake Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake The people were saying that no two were e'er wed Only one hath a sorrow that never is said And she 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, my dead love came in And moving so softly, her feet made no din And she laid her hand on me, and this she did say "It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day" |
