My young love said to me,
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kine.
She went away from me
And this she did say:
It will not be long
'Til our wedding day.
She went away from me
And she moved through the fair
And slowly I watched her
Move here and move there.
She went her way homeward,
With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake.
I dreamed last night
That my own love came in.
She came in so sweetly
Her feet made no din.
She came close so silently
And this, this she did say:
It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day.
