My young love said to me My mother won't mind And my father won't slight you For your lack of kind 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 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 Move over the lake
The people were saying No two e'er were wed But one has a sorrow That never was said And I smiled as she passed me With her goods and her gear And that was the last That I saw of my dear Last night she came to me My dear love came in So softly she came That her feet made no din And she lay her hand on me And this she did say "It will not be long love Till our wedding day"
