My love said to me
   My Mother won't mind
   And me 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
   Move here and move there
   She went her way homeward
   With one star awake
   As the swans in the evening
   Move over the lake
  
   People saying
   No two e'er were wed
   But one has a sorrow
   That never was said
   And she smiled as she passed me
   With her goods and her gear
  
   And that was the last
   That I saw of my dear.
  
   I dreamed it last night
   That my true love came in
   So softly she entered
   Her feet made mo din
   She came close beside me
   And this she did say
   It will not be long love
   Till our wedding day.
