My young love said to me My mother don't mind And my father won't sligh you For your lack of kind And she laid her hand on me And this is she did say It will not be long love Till our wedding day
And she went away from me She moves through the fair And fondly I watched her Move here and move there And then she went homeward Only one star awake Like a 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 made no din And she laid her hand on me And this she did say Oh, it will not be long love Till our wedding day
