SHE MOVES THROUGH THE FAIR
  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, 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 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, til our Wedding day"
