She Moved Through The Fair

  • 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,
    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 swans 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 she smiled as she passed me
    With her goods and her gear
    And that was the last
    That I saw of my dear.
    I dreamed it last night
    That my true 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,
    Till our wedding day." Writer/s: DP, LOREENA MCKENNITT
