She Moved Through The Fair Lyrics

She Moved Through 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 she went thro' the fair.

And 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.



Last
night she came to me, she came softly in,

So softly she came 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"
