He Moved Through the Fair

from

Earsight Sheet Music


My young love said to me my mother won't mind
And my Father won't slight you for your lack of kind
Then he stepped away from me and this he did say
It will not be long, love till our wedding day


He stepped away from me and he moved through the fair
And fondly I watched him move here and move there
He went his way homeward with one star awake
As the swans in the evening move over the lake.


The people were saying no two e'er were wed
But one has a sorrow that never was said
And he smiled as he passed with his goods and his gear
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.


Last night he came to me he came softly in
So softly he came that his feet made no din
He came close beside me and this he did say
It will not be long, love till our wedding day.
