My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind |
|
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kine." |
|
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 thru' the fair |
|
And fondly I watched her move here and move there. |
|
And she made her way homeward with one star awake |
|
As swan in the evening moves over the lake. |
|
|
|
Last night, She came to me, She came softly in |
|
So softly she came that her feet made no din, |
|
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say: |
|
"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day." |
