My love said to me
'My Mother won't mind
And me Father won't slight you
For your lack of kind'
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
'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
Move here and move there
And she went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
I dreamt it last night
That my true love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
How she came close beside me
And this she did say
'It will not be long love
Till our wedding day'
