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 laid her hand on me

And this she did say

It will not be long 'till our wedding day

And she went away from me

And she moved through the fair

And fondly I watched her move here and move there

And then she went onwards

Just one star awake

Like the swan in the evening

Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me

My dead love came in

So softly she came that her feet no din

And she laid her hand on me

And this she did say

It will not be long now

Till our wedding day
