Lyrics
My true love said to me, "My mother won't mind
My father won't slight you for your lack of kind."
She laid her hands on mine and this she did say
"It will not be long, lover, till our wedding day."
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
So fondly I watched her move here and move there
She made her way homeward with one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake
The people they were saying, ere we two were wed
"Ah, but one will have a sorrow that never can be said."
She smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear
And that was the last that I saw of my dear
And I dreamt it last night, that my dead love came in
So softly she moved, and her feet making no din
She laid her hands on mine and this she did say
"It will not be long, lover, till our wedding day."
