My young love said to me My mother won't And my father won't slight you For your lack of kind Then she away from me And she did say \"It will not be long love, till wedding day\".
She stepped away from me and she moved through fair and fondly I watched her Moved here and move there Then she made her way homeward with one star As the swan in the evening moves over the lake
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 say \"It will not be long love, till our wedding day\".
