She Moved Thro' the Fair Songtext
von Finbar Wright

My young love said to me
My mother won′t mind
And my father won't 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
Go here and go there
Then she went her way homeward
With one star awake
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake


The people were saying
No two were e′er wed
But one has a sorrow
That never was said
And I smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear
And that was the last that
I saw of my dear
I dreamt it last night
That my young love came in
So softly she entered
Her feet made no din
She came close beside me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
