My own love said to me
My parents won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
Then she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
Then she went her 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 had a sorrow
That never was said
She went her way homeward
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
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
Then she put her hand on me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
'Til our wedding day
