She away from me and she moved through the fair and fondly I watched her here and move there Then she made way homeward with one star awake As the swan the evening moves over the lake
I dreamt it last night my dead love came in So softly she moved That her made no din Then she came close beside me And this she did say \"It will not be long love, our wedding day\".
