And me father won't slight you for your lack
kind",Then she stepped away from me and this
she did say,"It will not be long,my love,till our
wedding day".
She stepp'd away from me as she
moved through the fair and fondly I watched her
move here and move there.And then she went
homeward with one star awake,as the swan in
the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying that no two'ere 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.
last night she came to me,my dead love came in.So
softly she came that her feet made no din.Then
she placed her hand on me and this she did say,
"It will not be long,my love,till our wedding day.
It will not be long,my love,till our wedding day."
