. . . 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

As she stepped away
from me and moved

through the fair

And fondly I watched

her move here
and move there

And then she turned

homeward with

one star awake
Like the swan in the
evening moves

over the lake

The people were saying
no two e'er were wed
But one had 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
Last night she came to me
my dead love came in
So softly she came

that her feet made no din
As she laid her hand on me

and this she did say

It will not be long love

till our wedding day
