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 moved thro' the fair.
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there.
And she made always homewards
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake
~~~~ Interlude ~~~~
Last night she came to me
She came softly in.
So softly she came
That 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 !!
