She Moved Through the Fair Lyrics

My own love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
He went away from me
And this he did say
"Oh, it will not be long now
'Til our wedding day"

He went away from me
And he moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him
Move here and move there
He went away onward
With one star awake
As a swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

I dream last night
That my own love came in
He came in So sweetly
His feet made no din
He step close beside me
And this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long now
'Til our wedding day"

"Oh, it will not be long now
'Til our wedding day"
