My young love said to me my mother wont mind,
And my father wont 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 through the fair,
and fondly I watched her move here and move there,
and then she went onward with one star awake,
like a swan in the evening moves over the lake,
last night she came to me,
my dear love came in,
so sofltly she came, that her feet made no dent,
and she laid her hand on me and this she did say,
it will not be long love till our wedding day,
