She Moved Through The Fair Lyrics - Cecile Corbel

My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind 

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind" 

And she stepped away from me and this she did say 

It will not be long, love, till our wedding day" 

As she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair 

And fondly I watched her move here and move there 

And then she turned homeward with one star awake 

Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake 

The people were saying no two e'er were wed 

But one had a sorrow that never was said 

And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear 

And that was the last time that I saw of my dear 

The people were saying no two e'er were wed 

But one had a sorrow that never was said 

And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear 

And that was the last time that I saw of my dear

Last night she came to me my dead love came in 

So softly she came that her feet made no din 

As she laid her hand on me and this she did say 

"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day"
