lyrics

My true love said to me, “My mother won’t mind,
“And my father won’t slight you for your lack of kind.”
And he stepped away from me, and this he did say,
“It will not be long, love, til our wedding day.”

He stepped away from me, and he moved through the faire.
So fondly I watched him move here and move there,
And he made his way homeward with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night, he came to me, my true love came in.
So softly he came that his feet made no din.
And he put his hand on me, and this he did say,
“It will not be long, love, til our wedding day.”
