She Moved Through The Fayre

My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And me father won't slight you
For your lack of kine
Then she laid her hand on me
And this she did say:
It will not be long, Love
‘Til our wedding day

She moved away from me
And she moved through the Fayre
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
She made her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this she did say:
It will not be long, Love
‘Til our wedding day
