my young love said to me
my mother 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 till our wedding day 

she stepped away from me
and she moved through the fair
and fondly i watched her moved here 
and moved there 
then she made her way homeward 
with one star awake as the swan in the evening moves over the lake

i dreamt it last night 
that my dead love came in so softly 
she moved that her feet made no din 
then she came close beside me 
and this she did say 
it will not be long love till our wedding day
