My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kine
She went away from me
And this she did say

It will not be long
'Til our wedding day


She went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And slowly I watched her

Move here and move there
She went her way homeward
With one star awake

As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake


I dreamed last night
That my own love came in
She came in so sweetly

Her feet made no din.
She came close so silently
And this, this she did say

It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day.
