He Moved Through The Fair

<br>My young love said to me &quot; My mother won`t mind<br>And my father won`t slight for your lack of kind<br>And he stepped away from me and this he did say<br>&quot;It will not be long,love,till our wedding day<br><br><br>He stepped away from me and he went through the fair<br>And fondly I watched him move here and move there<br>And then he went honward with one star awake<br>As the swan in the evening moves over the lake<br><br>The people were saying &quot;No two were e`er wed<br>But one had a sorrow that never was said<br>And I smile as he passed with his goods and his gear<br>And that was the last that I saw of my dear<br><br>Last night he came to me,he came softly in<br>So softly he came that his feet made no din<br>And he laid his hand on me and this he did say<br>&quot;It will not be long,love,till our wedding day
