Lyrics
My young love said to me
"My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind."
And he stepped away from me
And this he did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day."
He stepped away from me
And he moved through the fair
And fondly I watched him
Move here and move there
Then he went his way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
The people were saying
"No two were e'er wed"
But one has a sorrow
That never was said
And I smiled as he passed
With his goods and his gear
And that was the last that
I saw of my dear
I dreamt it last night
That my young love came in
So softly and said
His feet made no din
He came close beside me
And this he did say
"It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day."
