My young love said to me:
"My mother won't mind
And me father won't slight you
For your lack of kind"
And as she stepped away from me
Oh this she did say:
"It will not be long, love
Till 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 took her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
Often people were saying
That no two were wed
But that one had a sorrow
Of love it was said
For she smiled as she passed
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
Her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say:
"It will not be long, love,
Till our wedding day"
