Emma Christian - She Moved Through the Fair lyrics

My young love said to me My parents 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 'Til our wedding day" She stepped away from me And she moved through the fair And fondly I watched her Move here and move there Then she went her way homeward With one star awake As the swan in the evening Moved over the lake The people were saying No two were er'e wed But one had a sorrow That never was said She went her way homeward With her goods and her gear And that was the last That I saw of my dear Last night she came to me My dead love came in So softly she entered Her feet made no din Then she put her hand on me And this she did say "It will not be long love 'Til our wedding day"
