My young love
Said to me
"My mother
Won't mind
And my Father
Won't slight you
For your lack
Of kind"
Then she stepped
Away from me
And this she did
Say
"lt will not be long
Love til our
Wedding Day"
She stepped away
From me
And she moved
Through the fair
And fondly
I watched her
Move here and
Move there
Then she made her
Way homeward
With one star
Awake
As the swan
In the evening
Moves over
The lake
I dreamt it
Last night
That my dead love
Came in
So softly she moved
That her feet made
No din
Then she came close
Beside me
And this she
Did say
"lt will not be
Long love til our
Wedding Day
