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 laid her hand on me
   And this she did say
   It will not be long 'till our wedding day
  
   And she went away from me
   And she moved through the fair
   And fondly I watched her move here and move there
   And then she went onwards
   Just one star awake
   Like the swan in the evening
   Moves over the lake
  
   Last night she came to me
   My dead love came in
   So softly she came that her feet no din
   And she laid her hand on me
   And this she did say
   It will not be long now
   Till our wedding day
