She Moved through the Fair - Cara Dillon
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 and this she did say
'It will not be long love
Till our wedding day'
She stepped away from me
And she went through the fair
And fondly I watched
Her move here and move there
And then she went homeward with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake
The people were saying
'No two e'er were red'
But one had a sorrow that never was said
And I smiled as she passed me
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear
Last night she came to me
My true love came in
And she came in so easy
Her feet made no din
As she laid her hands
On me and this she did say
'It will not be long love 'till our wedding day'
No it won't be long my love
No it won't be long my love
No it won't be long my love
