She Moves Through The Fair Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

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 this she did say 

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

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

And fondly I watched her go here and go there 

And she went her way homeward with one star awake 

As the swan in the evening moves over the lake 

And the people were saying that no two were wed 

That one has a sorrow that never was said 

And I watched as she went with her goods and her gear 

And that was the last time that I saw my dear 

I dreamt it last night that my dead love made in 

So softly she moved that her feet made no dim 

She came close beside me and this she did say 

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