Lyrics

(Source: Gospel Oak)

My young love said to me,
"My mother won't mind,
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind."
He went away from me,
And this he did say,
"It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day."
He went away from me
And he moved through the fair.
And slowly I watched him
Move here and move there.
He went his way homeward
With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake.
I dreamed last night
That my young love came in.
He came in so sweetly,
His feet made no din.
He stepped upside up beside me,
And this he did say,
"It will not be long, love,
'Til our wedding day."
